Sunderland 'Til I Die - Série 2

Why is it never us? Even the second season is not so much about football, tactics and the dressing room, but rather about the chemistry between senior management, employees and fans. I've only shed tears a few times in my life because of football. And usually for a club I don't even support. This is a sports and social thriller. For me, the best series this year so far.

With new owners comes a new perspective, where I enjoy watching the relentless effort to break everything up with good ideas and endless determination, but the series, changed almost beyond recognition, loses some of the drama in the matches. Because logically, it is not an eternal downward spiral; there are also fewer disasters for the viewers to reluctantly be grateful for, but there is still plenty of bad luck. If someone presented me with a series where the main hero always narrowly misses his goal, no matter how hard he tries to achieve it, I would consider it too contrived a bet on certainty after the fourth or fifth such case. Therefore, I hardly believe how many setbacks, shortfalls, and unpleasant last minutes there were in the subsequent year as well. A continuation at this moment doesn't make sense; the situation in the club needs to be turned around on all levels. (11.06.2020)
