Michael W @mawilps 10/23/2022 This docuseries was very good. Idris Elba and the entire crew did a spectacular job on this series. It's about discovering new cultures and the sports traditions they have in each country. It goes deep into how popular these sports are in these countries and how dedicated each athlete is to the sport. If you're a Netflix member, you should watch this docuseries sometime. It's a definite must see. See more Read all reviews
