Haven't started it yet but it is the story of the high school football team from a scam school in Columbus OH.
Wiki link if you want to read about it beforehand.

I saw a preview of this but didn't really understand..
Sounds like the old U teams
quote:
Former player Aaron Boyd stated in an interview with Complex that athletes were recruited under the premise of the school being the "IMG of the Midwest".[4] However, many of their student-athletes were older than high-school age, and there was no real campus. Instead, athletes were housed in a hotel for five months, with the only schooling being one visit to a public library. The school also struggled to maintain coaches as 80% of the coaching staff quit during the season and the team was left with just two coaches and one mother of a player. The players were also not provided with food and some players resorted to stealing from supermarkets to eat.[4]
Complex also conducted an anonymous interview with two former Bishop Sycamore students. They revealed that then head coach, Leroy Johnson, recruited the students with the prospect of "practicing at Ohio State's facilities".[5] In reality, they held practice outside of an apartment complex that housed students at Ohio State. The team also did not have athletic trainers, which resulted in the athletes playing injured. The apartments housing the students frequently evicted them after Johnson failed to pay rent. Many players already graduated from high school and there "were four or five kids that were 20, 21, [and] had children of their own".[5] A number of players had legal issues; at one point so many players had active arrest warrants that the team could not fly to away games. One player joined the team immediately after being released from jail. The team also struggled with camaraderie; a former player claimed there were at least five fights at every practice

at least they got it over with and didn't drag it out into 7 parts.
"docuseries." You can be sure they've stretched it out as far as possible. Like your mom.

Just watched it. It was very disturbing. Coach is a piece of shite and appears to be a psychopath.

I just finished watching it and I feel bad for the kids that got taken advantage of and the coach needs to be put in an insane asylum
