Apple's 10-part docuseries titled 'The Dynasty: New England Patriots' now streaming

For starters, the organization’s three-big players all participated: head coach Bill Belichick, quarterback Tom Brady, and owner Robert Kraft were all interviewed for the series. How much they will pull back the curtain remains to be seen, but one soundbite from Kraft in particular teases an up-close look at a late-dynasty power struggle.
“We were coming near the end, and I was just trying to hold it together the best I could,” he is quoted in the trailer, presumably speaking about the final few seasons of the Brady/Belichick dynasty that brought six championships to New England.
Based on author Jeff Benedict’s eponymous New York Times bestselling book, The Dynasty draws on “thousands of hours of never-before-seen video footage and audio files from the Patriots organization’s archive.” The series is scheduled to premiere on Friday, Feb. 16, on Apple TV+.

Hope it's by the same guys that did that Florida Gators doc on Netflix (so we don't have to sit through any boring stories about criminals and cheating).

I'll watch that. I'm sure Belichick will give us a ton of sound bites LOL
I've been to the Patriots Hall of Fame right outside their stadium and they have a pretty cool movie that hits on all the titles
The Barry Sanders documentary hits Prime next week.

This feels too soon. The Last Dance was great because the interviews were done 22 years after the last championship so everybody was very candid and not holding anything back. Can't imagine Brady being as honest as Jordan was in that documentary.

the Last Dance also came out during a time when no live sports was available

I came to say they must have heard about the popularity of HBO's John Adams series.
Wrong Patriots.
Wrong Patriots.

It was inevitable that the greatest dynasty in the history of professional sports would get the "Last Dance" treatment.

I've watched the first two eps. This is far better than anything Netflix has ever done in their sporting docs.
They are also going all in on everything, including Hernandez and Spygate, etc.
There are also apparently lots of unearthed never before seen home video and mic'd up stuff to give a much better glimpse of what really happened. The Brady-Belichick dynamic is also going to be laid out at the end and how it collapsed.
Belichick was also apparenlty very standoff-ish in his interviews and it shows. He did not want to do this but he knew everyone was interviewed so he wanted his side of the story out there, too. The producer said it was basically like a Pats press conference trying to interview him.
The first two eps were great. The production quality is A+.

It is about the New England Patriots, not the Boston Celtics.

Unless you're Bill Simmons, why would most want to relive that? Especially when they're probably sugar a coating Spygate, Deflate-Gate and biased referring.
Hard pass on an iffy Dynasty.

I watched it last night. You kind of feel sorry for Bledsoe until you realize it’s the NFL and Drew is rich. The new kid was producing results and getting better while Drew had been in the league for awhile and had plateaued.
I grew up a Colts fan and hated Ty Law and Brady with a passion, but they were beasts. There’s no denying that.

Talk about some bad blood between Bill Parcells and Robert Kraft. I’m nosy so I’d like to know the details.

Simply from a production and intrigue and narrative standpoint, this is one of the best sports documentary projects I can recall.
It's not about a sport or team. It's Shakespeare.
Episode 3 had so much wild shite in it I never knew about.
Parcells and Kraft clearly still hating each other. Kraft figuring out a way to keep other potential buyers from purchasing the Patriots. Belichick basically letting Ernie Adams decide to go for the win in the Rams SB... And then that Scott Piolli monologue at the end about how winning becomes a drug and you do anything to keep from losing.
Its quite the feat whatbhe director and producers pulled off here.

The old Rams coach was still pissed off about those holding and pass interference no calls as well.
As dominant as I remember them, most of New Englands super bowls were extremely close. Great teams find ways to win games.
SB 36-NE won by 3
SB 38-NE won by 3
SB 39-NE won by 3
SB 42-NE lost by 3 to the Giants
SB 46-NE lost by 4 to the Giants
SB 49-NE won by 4
SB 51- NE won by 6
SB 52- NE lost by 8 to the Eagles
SB 53- NE won by 10

I didn’t know that Hernandez asked BB to be traded to a west coast NFL team because he feared for his life.
You mean to tell me they’ve dissected Aaron’s whole life, but they haven’t discovered a motive in his killing of Odin Lloyd. From the time of Lloyd’s murder to Aaron’s death, no one thought to ado Aaron why he did it? Something is off there.

Yep... There was a ton left out about the Hernandez episode.
I listened to a lot of Boston sports talk during that time and they basically said Hernandez was gay and Lloyd may have been going to out him or it was some sort of lover's quarrel.
Regardless, that episode was wild, but it didn't go into all the details of the case. They basically didn't even show that Hernandez was convicted on a lot of circumstantial evidence (which was obviously the correct conviction, but still).
Ernie Adams also continued to be the best part of this series. He has spoken with more directness and revealed more than just about anyone else in the show.

They were videotaping opponents signals from the wrong location. Probably the most overblown “scandal” in pro sports history. And no, I’m not saying that shouldn’t have been punished. They clearly broke the rules and deserved some form of punishment. I’ve just always found the reaction to the story to be way over the top. Of course, most people probably don’t even realize that it was completely legal to videotape opposition signals.

A great companion to the last episode is the Netflix doc on #81. I’m watching it now, and it gives detail where Dynasty could not due to time.
