    The series has the hallmarks of a fish-out-of-water documentary, a Ted Lasso in real life, but it turns out to be a more soulful series than that, once it gets over its bumpy landing.

    Welcome to Wrexham desperately wants to position itself as "the real 'Ted Lasso,'" but that's only part of what's going on in this FX docuseries, in which Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney buy a struggling Welsh soccer team. The resulting series is a little of this, a bit of that, and like its featured franchise, plays more like a wannabe than a true contender.

    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.

All the big decisions (firing/hiring etc...) are only alluded to; we are left with a fait accompli when a new manager and player is announced to leave/join the team. All the interesting bits are left to the imagination of the viewer and we must sit through Zoom sesssions of unfunny pandering and patronizing bits of various "people in charge" or mockumentary bits on the "salt of the earth" fans. Plus, the second Hollywood "star", McElhenenny or smthg like that, is a douche.
    I give 2 points because Welsh people are great and their gaelic culture deserves better treatment.
    Better watch that Lakers documentary, even though we freaking hate them.    … Full Review »
