Not something I would have expected to enjoy. I'm no football fan. The casting is very good and some of the writing quite sharp. I still wasn't sure if I liked it at first but scenes from the show keep popping into my head, which means it made an impact.

A great show, it took some getting use to the rock as an actor but he pulled it off. If you want something to watch and have some time then i would recommend this show

Love the Rock--love the story and the characters. Well paced-initially I thought each episode was too short but got to appreciate it at 20 minutes a show and I can re-watch ! Can't wait for season 2 !
