This Netflix original series follows college football teams that aren't major programs and don't get much national attention. After a couple seasons of profiling recruits at East Mississippi Community College, which has won several NJCAA national titles, the reality series shifts its focus to Independence Community College. The Kansas school doesn't have the same type of gridiron pedigree as EMCC -- it's trying to rebound from more than a decade of losses -- but the players are dealing with many of the same challenges that the EMCC squad faced -- both on and off the field.

Nathan Scott McNamara Vox 06/20/2019
What's perhaps most rich -- and gut-wrenching -- about the stories of the players in LCU is that, while they struggle in the classroom and their lives, they are beautiful forces on the football field. Go to Full Review Victoria Luxford Little White Lies 06/20/2019
While Last Chance U may not tell us anything we don't already know about college sport, seeing the limbo faced by those who don't make the cut makes for equally uneasy viewing. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire 07/21/2017

The farther out that Last Chance U travels from the show's center, the better context it gives to what the players stand to gain from success and what they face if they fail. Go to Full Review Alan French AwardsCircuit.com 10/10/2018
4/4
The show deserves the spotlight it has received in college football circles. In reality, it is one the strongest docu-series on TV today. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 12/19/2017
[Last Chance U] lets EMCC's students tell their own stories, and there's something beautiful and vulnerable about this bare-all style. Go to Full Review Jac Kern Cincinnati CityBeat 09/13/2017

08/10/2020 This season is just as good as season one but a bit more hate for the coach simply because you realize he truly is a bad person. Now the ugly truth is, does that coincide with being a good coach? I think that's the philosophical dilemma here. Lots of love for the players and enjoyed the whole season immensely. See more 08/11/2017 Its just as good as season 1, and the players featured in this season are more compelling. I wish Wagner received a little more screen time, like last season. See more 07/24/2017 Superb piece of film-making, that takes a viewer into the realms of life that sports movies and television rarely go. See more Read all reviews
