Moderator Tommy Posted January 21, 2019 Moderator Posted January 21, 2019 Really good acting performance from Mark Strong as Sunderland's CEO
Cicero Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Main interest of the series was watching the operations side of a football club.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted January 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted January 22, 2019 It'll be good once season two has come out to see the difference in the club both on the pitch but also that operations side as well!
IgnisExcubitor Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Just finished watching this. Was a decent watch. The editing was dramatic, the portrayal of locals was shoddy, and it could have been a bit more detailed. Not a lot coming from the captain either. Jack Rodwell comes out of it looking like a proper jerk. The owner too. The CEO seems clueless, even though to be fair to him it seemed that his hands were tied. Simon Grayson looked even more clueless. The staff at the club, especially the chef were lovely. Also, I could listen to that player liaison officer, Leanne Bennett, talk forever. Such an interesting accent on that woman. (Can anyone tell me what accent it was?) And of course Chris Coleman comes across as a decent bloke. I had never really liked him, especially during his time at Fulham. But here you could see that there was a massive difference between him and Grayson. He seemed like a class above Grayson and a proper leader. My favourite moment was the kids throwing snowballs at the first team.
Moderator Tommy Posted January 24, 2019 Moderator Posted January 24, 2019 Halfway through and I'm really enjoying this. I bet that lunch lady was a full blown alcoholic by the time the show was over.
Moderator Tommy Posted January 25, 2019 Moderator Posted January 25, 2019 Anyone else just wanted to give Jonny Williams a hug? Poor bloke was so down. And he seems to be such a nice guy as well I hope he got that dog.

HawayTheLads Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Season 2 is expected in February. They've been given more access to the club since Donald took over too.
Cicero Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Looking forward to it. Really enjoyed the 1st season

Where the hell did you read that? "Simon Grayson and Chris Coleman were both against allowing dressing room access – and Jack Ross has followed suit." https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/latest-sunderland-afc-news/sunderland-til-i-die-everything-we-know-so-far-about-season-two-popular-netflix-series-634112
Dr. Gonzo Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I imagine if I were a manager or a player, I'd absolutely hate having to deal with a show like this, especially a second season of it
Smiley Culture Posted October 28, 2019 Author Posted October 28, 2019 These programmes always have a “villain” that ends up suffering, rightly or wrongly, from the way it’s shown. John Sitton never worked in Football again after “Orient: Yours For a Fiver” in 1995 but he was a bloke who offered someone out and sacked someone at half time and Steve Bleasedale never managed in professional football after that Ron Atkinson Peterborough United documentary thing. I can see why as a manager, you wouldn’t want to have team talks etc filmed.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted January 27, 2020 Subscriber Posted January 27, 2020 It was expected to come back next month but not heard anything yet and there doesn't seem to be much online. I hope it happens!

Jacko Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I enjoyed the Sunderland one. Not as good as the one about Leeds but at least Sunderland didn't have Russell Crowe's dulcet and emotionless tones ruining it.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted March 24, 2020 Subscriber Posted March 24, 2020 Season Two is officially coming to Netflix on 1st April. The trailer is there now https://www.netflix.com/search?q=sunderland&jbv=80207046&jbp=0&jbr=0

So every episode I didn't know what to expect, and what a roller coaster that was. Can't wait for Season 2. I'm managing them on FM atm, so I'll see some familiar faces.

It'll be interesting as it's based on last season and obviously everyone expected (much like the first one in the Championship) them to get promoted from League One at the first time of asking.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted April 1, 2020 Subscriber Posted April 1, 2020 It's available now for all those who are interested. I'm going to try and watch at least one of them at some point today.
