    As a football fan, this is a must watch. Except for some small parts to make it more dramatic, this is the real story about the beginnings of professional football and how the rich had to accept the working class as an important part of the game. The last episode was the most emotional and exciting thing I've watched in a while, I had a smile on my face for the whole 45 minutes! Please watch this!

    It’s entertaining in a flimsy, forgettable way, giving us everything we’d anticipate expect from a period drama, and not much more.

    Wonderfully entertaining, and full of sharp portrayals.

    It is terrible. ... Nothing has been written, shown or scored in a way to elicit any degree of human emotion.
