Wife and I have been looking for a new series and she picked this one. Watched the first three episodes tonight.

Highly recommend for those of you looking for something new.

Kate Hudson headlines. The rest of the cast is great so far. And it is refreshingly not woke/non political. So far, one of the better fictional portrayals I have seen of pro sports. if they could have only had the budget to add Jason Bateman and/or Jeremy Priven to the cast it would be epic.

And it's genuinely smart and very funny.

High level overview - four rich, white, siblings, inherit their father's LA based NBA franchise.

This board routinely asks for recs on new content. This is a good watch.

There are definitely some echoes of Winning Time and Ted Lasso here. Enjoyed the first few episodes so far.

Yeah, definitely inspired by Jeanie Buss.

Yes, great takeaway.

See election night last year.

See the state of the union tonight.

See the fact that Taylor Sheridan currently owns the entertainment industry.

Sorry you find yourself on the outside looking in

Cry harder.

Lasso did a great job of integrating players into the storyline, this show needs some help to get it to the next level. I liked the family dynamic. The basketball and arena are not good.

This show is okay, but the basketball action and talk is bad.

In one episode I just watched they talked about Dyson who shoots 12% from the FT line and 45% from the 3 point line. That's just beyond dumb.

I had to rewind to make sure they said 12%.

I'm shocked, especially because noted NBA expert Mindy Kaling is the showrunner so you should expect realistic basketball talk.

makes sense kissing the zen coach at the end of the season. I guess he isn't leaving

Movies/shows etc don't have to be "anti-woke".

They just have to NOT go out of their way to be woke. There is a difference.

At some point, every.single.show. HAD to have a main character or entire string of episodes dedicated to showing how "woke" the writers/producers/actors were/are.

The blowback from it was partly becuase of the "anti-woke" movement, but a lot of it was just because it was the same thing over and over again in every show/movie.

We finished season 2, we enjoyed it. Thought some of the Easter eggs were neat (Macully, Oliver Hudson opposite Kate in basketball) I'm sure I missed many
