Last Wednesday Netflix announced a full-season documentary that will have "unprecedented access to follow the '24 Red Sox from start to finish". How do you guys feel about it? (lemmy.world)

Personally I'm excited, as long as it gives more insight to the daily routine of a baseball player and all the things that come into play with running a baseball team for a full season. But I hated the over-dramatization of F1's Drive to Survive, so I feel a little apprehension.

As a Brit with little to no knowledge of American sports systems (the games I get, but the systems behind them I don’t). I’ve really enjoyed the Netflix shows, Last Chance U, The Maple Leafs doc, and a couple of others, the Florida Gators doc etc.

They do a good job in my opinion. It’s a been a good gateway. Good insights if you are coming in knowing nothing.

Yeah I get that. I'm Dutch myself and I grew up playing baseball but the distance and the lack of people to talk to make it difficult to pick up on the intricacies behind the game. Even the guys I played with weren't really following the MLB. And coverage here is almost exclusively focused on football.
