“First 5 episodes were great. Last episode completely detaches from the narrative and puts football and the NFL on trial for brain-injuries and CTE. In my opinion, the fact that Hernandez was a thug and a POS gets completely discounted because he suffered from CTE.

I am not naive enough to say that CTE is not real and I believe football has a duty to improve players hitting a techniques (to minimize risk) and treat concussions as a bonafide injury. In the end I was not looking for a massive treatise on Football and its links to brain injury; I was looking for a great character study.”

“As someone who is at best ambivalent about football and the Patriots I find this a fascinating, tragic look at how untreated childhood trauma can shape a person’s life (2 episodes in).”
