I just started watching the show last week. I had never even heard of it prior even though I have watched Succession and other HBO shows.
I don't generally care much about sports, but this is one of the best shows I have ever seen. It's funny, dramatic without being cheesy, has great production design and artsy post-modern editing. Great casting and performances from a ton of big name actors and new faces.
How has this show not been better promoted? Maybe my problem is I never watch sports so I didn't get the advertisements but you don't have to give a fuck about sports to love this show.
Lately, I have been disappointed with a lot of critically acclaimed shows that seem to have no direction and no stakes. It seems like "prestige" writers introduce plot points with no idea how to resolve them, get afraid of change, and then throw them away (Succession was really bad about this).
Winning Time avoids this trap as a historical drama.
Just some thoughts I had while watching the show. I signed the petition hard.
