Season 1 Review: Between the thoughtfulness with which the series tells the story of Wrexham’s everyday supporters, the light touch it takes when incorporating the club’s players and staff, and the winking ribbing it weaves through all the “Ryan and Rob” bits as an exercise to keep them from coming off as too self-serious or driven by ego, Welcome to Wrexham has set itself up to turn in one of the more engaging, down-to-earth, funny sports stories in recent memory.

Season 1 Review: The resulting first season of this docuseries does not disappoint. Even if you know nothing about soccer or British club sport, if you like a good underdog story, this one will play its way right into your heart. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “Welcome to Wrexham” smartly doesn’t spend all of its time focusing on the starry duo; McElhenney and Reynolds are only part of this winning documentary series that shines brightest when the people of Wrexham take the spotlight. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If you found Ted Lasso too cloying to watch, Welcome to Wrexham might be more enjoyable, as it’s a less-dopey version of the same story. But all Ted Lasso viewers—or football/soccer fans in general—will appreciate Welcome to Wrexham as a pacifier while we wait for Season 3. Read full review

Season 3 Review: The stakes and popularity may be higher than ever, but the series wisely keeps things small and grounded. It’s a feel-good watch with real substance, never shying away from tackling hard issues — or from indulging in a laugh over a pint at a pub. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Welcome To Wrexham isn’t exactly about the same plucky underdog team anymore. But as long as the show’s producers continue to emphasize the team’s connections with its fans and city, it should be a little more than just a straightforward sports docuseries. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Welcome to Wrexham is, in a word, boring. The documentary-capturing cameras have been on from before day one and they’re capturing the dullest footage there ever was. Read full review

Clearly inspired by “Sunderland til I die” which Rob McElhenney binge watched during the pandemic lockdown, but this show is superlative in many ways, the Hollywood twist, the fact it’s a Welsh club plying it’s trade in the 5th tier of English league football, the large focus on theClearly inspired by “Sunderland til I die” which Rob McElhenney binge watched during the pandemic lockdown, but this show is superlative in many ways, the Hollywood twist, the fact it’s a Welsh club plying it’s trade in the 5th tier of English league football, the large focus on the community rather than the football itself with the two Hollywood stars natural charm & humour acting as a perfect antidote to the grittier reality of log suffering locals yearning to return to the football league of which they have not been part of for 15 years, can Rob & Ryan help them do the seemingly impossible? One of the best sporting documentaries of recent years.… Expand
