In Deep with Ryan Lochte

Lochte has married and fathered two children since Rio, which factors considerably in the footage for this one-hour documentary, making a fairly convincing case that every party boy eventually becomes a man. It seems there might have been hope to make a full docuseries here, following Lochte to the U.S. competitions and, perhaps, to Tokyo.

A little too programmatic not to be annoying, but, still, good luck in 2021.

In Deep strains to make the case that Lochte is a different person now than the goofy, party-hardy twentysomething we got to know so long ago. ... In the end, In Deep with Ryan Lochte only made me wonder why we are so desperate to relate to athletes and movie stars as Good People when basic logic tells us that their moral character can vary just as widely as any randomly selected person sitting a few feet away from you at a local restaurant.

Overwrought. ... Painfully relitigating Lochte's scandal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

A shallow and self-pitying vanity project. ... It doesn't help that Lochte is as inarticulate and unreflective as you remember him.
