Graeme Blundell The Australian 12/03/2022
Bad Sport is a pungent combination of true crime and sport, compiled and produced with appealing aesthetic creativity. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 10/08/2021
Bad Sport digs deep into the dark side of the games, as we see the beauty and pure competition of sports sullied by athletes, officials and shadowy outsiders who are motivated by political self-interest or blind ambition or greed... Go to Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast 10/08/2021
Bad Sport serves up a global cross section of sports-world malfeasance... Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 10/14/2021
4/5
Overall, the series is a statement about the erosion of sports culture, and shows the kind of damage that can be done if the potential misdeeds aren't kept in check. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 10/12/2021

02/23/2022 Well made, worth watching! See more 01/12/2022 This is the best series I've seen in a long time. Very interesting stories about corruption in various sports. See more 12/21/2021 EXCELLENT! Riveting and I can't walk away. Shocking and eye opening. Very well done series, only wish there were more episodes. See more Jan V @RT50475020 10/24/2021 Not a bad show per se, but for me it just didn't hit the right note. Too much emphasis on the perpetrators who get to explain what they did wrong, making all kinds of excuses, while being incredible smug about it. Some of them are almost depicted as heroes. Newsflash: they are not! Also, pacing is just too slow. Most of these stories could have been told in half the time. But hey, you have to fill that hour, right? This is not the only Netflix "true crime" series that suffers from that. See more 10/09/2021 Amazing tales. Fascinating. See more 10/06/2021 I was really pleasantly surprised by this series. A set of sporting scandals told with a true crim lens - sign me up! See more Read all reviews
