    It is only interesting in deconstructing MJ's icon as well as the NBA and Nike's marketing ploys because it is so damn long and repetitive.

    Didn't do much for me. There's some interesting content & behind the scenes footage but overall it's very repetitive and ultimately forgettable. I don't get the hype around it but it probably just dropped at the perfect time when everyone was starving for sports content.

    The footage is such a window into history that it’s fairly easy to give the filmmakers a bit of a pass for what’s not on screen.

    The access that the filmmakers have gotten makes this series all the more fascinating to watch.

    Beautifully composed and edited together, the program serves as religious text for those who still exalt at the shrine of his Airness. Moreover, for fans who watched the incredible and nearly unparalleled run of success this franchise experienced during the 1990’s, The Last Dance is a pulsating celebration of greatness.
