What a smashing idea. The origin of football in a Victorian setting. They could have got a billion viewers if they'd stuck to the football. But they didn't. They missed a sitter, an open goal. Clichéd and hackneyed to the nth degree. All of it. Every single character without exception. Cardboard quality with the dialogue that had to have been written by an AI programmed by a teenage girl. Total dross. Mawkish gunk. And, the football! What little there was.. Oh God. Awful. And Maradona, not even cold in his grave. Shame SIR. Shame

Very good series. Loved the pace and the ending brought everything together nicely. As is typical wit Netflix series, it is extremely well done, from the casting to the story to the cinematography. I walked away with a new appreciation for the sport and the men who turned it into what it is today.

From same mastermind of Downton Abbey, the early but hard efforts for develop the first professional soccer league, and the social problems of the players. May be a good choice for binge.

A decent enough story to go with origins of football in England and one of first FA cups. If you love the sport and care about it you'll probably like it.
