Consequence
Beautifully composed and edited together, the program serves as religious text for those who still exalt at the shrine of his Airness. Moreover, for fans who watched the incredible and nearly unparalleled run of success this franchise experienced during the 1990’s, The Last Dance is a pulsating celebration of greatness.

At 10 parts, it's a very, very deep dive, but for fans who will eat this stuff up, it hits all the right notes.

great stuff ! even if you're not into basketball this is a good story and you won't be bored. my biggest complaint is with the structure. it's very hard to get a cohesive picture of everything going on at one point in time because each episode can span one topic across Jordan's whole career. So you have to try and remember if the middle of one episode happens at the same as the beginning and end of two others.

the last dance gets a 91 critics score at metacritic and an 8.6 user score. mj: OK fine, no problem. also mj: comes back from retirement, brings Pippen and rodman back, wins the 2020 championship and they make a whole season about it that gets a 100 metacritic score.

“The Last Dance” isn’t necessarily an evidence-gathering operation, but as the series goes on, the input from teammates, coaches, and members of the Jordan inner circle all seem to ask whether the outcome of June 1998 was worth all the turmoil. For many viewers lifted by the way “The Last Dance” captures the sweep of history, the likely answer will be “yes.”

At a time when ESPN and other outlets are struggling to fill the sport-less void, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic’s disruption of, well, everything, The Last Dance is exactly what fans need...It’s both a perfect diversion and a tribute to shared sacrifice.

If anything each episode left me wanting more. Not only were the Bulls a team for the ages, they also gave us a sports soap opera for the ages.

The limited series is as complete a portrait of Michael Jordan's extraordinary basketball career as fans will ever get. It's a Citizen Kane-like biography of Jordan's relentless pursuit of greatness at all costs.

Hehir has this trick where any time someone says something debatable or controversial or simply worthy of running by Jordan, he hands him an iPad and makes him watch what was said. And every time Hehir does it, Jordan turns the reaction into gold. He’s an incredulous Zeus in these moments, lightning bolts falling from his toga as he laughs, zapping lesser gods.

Jordan's story in the Bulls centered in his last season, excellent production of the best decade in the NBA history.

Didn't do much for me. There's some interesting content & behind the scenes footage but overall it's very repetitive and ultimately forgettable. I don't get the hype around it but it probably just dropped at the perfect time when everyone was starving for sports content.

It is only interesting in deconstructing MJ's icon as well as the NBA and Nike's marketing ploys because it is so damn long and repetitive. He appears as a vindictive, selfish and petty lout. Basically the opposite of what sport should be about. I was a naïve fan in '98 but not at all anymore. His aura had suffered greatly when he played with the Wizards and then as a team owner, but his ugliness is now laid bare. Thank God for Pop, Tim Duncan and **** Steph Curry/Klay Thompson.

I got bored of listening to how great Michael Jordan is after about 15 minutes and gave up. The OJ docs were far superior.

I tried... sooooo boring. Sorry. I guess sports documentaries are not as exciting as real games.
