Yes, the premise of Big Shot is familiar, but it’s more satisfying and dramatically fulfilling than you might expect. Read full review

There’s real quality writing in this series, and we get glimpses into the lives of Marvyn, Holly and the girls on the team from the start. The pilot gives viewers more than enough to immediately sign on and follow how Marvyn and the Sirens (that’s the school mascot) get better together. Read full review

The three episodes provided for review set up a reliably pleasant structure: Coach Korn's single-minded approach clashes comedically with the emotional intricacies of teenage girlhood; bristling and push-back on both sides ensues; by the end of the hour, compromise is achieved, and everyone learns a little bit about themselves in the process. Stamos is the ultimate utility player, capable of delivering dry wit and sweet sentiment in equal measure. The other adult characters aren't as well-defined. Read full review

Big Shot needs more such effective moments [like Destiny standing up for herself], so it features not only Marvyn’s growth, but also shows how the girls are finding their voice and independence. The show needs to be more of a team effort, on and off the court. Read full review

It’s a sweet, sunny series if not as endearing as Disney+’s “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers.” Read full review

It’s great inoffensive family programming with good actors doing good work (especially Stamos). It is hard not to see that this is a story that doesn’t understand how the original script has aged, but odds are the longer it goes on it will shake off the dust of a bygone era. Read full review

What we get is a chaotic kind of emptiness. On the teen side, while the clutch of young actors who make up Westbrook’s basketball team are charming and do what they can with the scripts they’re given, what little insight we’re given into their respective characters is just deeply, deeply dull. As for what Korn’s story is meant to be, meanwhile (beyond an incomprehensible apologia for emotional abuse as “coaching” tactic, that is), I’m still not convinced even Big Shot knows for sure.

Pleasantly surprised! I find it's well acted and the character portrayals believable as are the context of the issues addressed. Overall enjoyed the 1st episode and look forward to more.
