The TVI Take

Netflix three-season documentary about Sunderland AFC's relegation cycle through the English football pyramid. The structural commitment to letting fan culture, club ownership, and player-recruitment economics all share equal screen time is what separates it from sports-documentary standard practice.

Anthropologically serious work about post-industrial English working-class culture.
