This show is the best.
All the characters were amazing, and the actors played them perfectly. Loved the they just ended it, instead of milking the franchise for dragged out seasons.
If I were to nitpick, they managed to portray a Premier League/Championship club as a smalltown semi pro outfit. Like, players were alone in the medical room, there's only one kit man, the Owner (a billionaire) just pops in and out of the locker room/coach's office and her whole day is preoccupied with day-to-day club dealings, etc. Where are the ARMY of doctors, equipment managers, physios, support staff, sales, customer service, security, etc. That was kinda LOL, but at its core, the show isn't about football, it's about the relationships between the people associated with the club. So I forgive them for this part. Some of the actual football stuff was cringe (like McAdoo putting the ball through the net, or Dani killing a greyhound), but again, it's a nitpick.
Gun to my head and someone said I had to pick top-3 favorite characters, I'd probably say Coach Beard, Ted, and Sam.
