Winning Time: Aufstieg der Lakers-Dynastie

Very entertaining. Offbeat direction and exaggerated characters keep it full of surprises. Forget trying to compare it to reality or searching for a political stance; it's just fast paced fun and entertainment. Just relax and enjoy it.

The decision to cancel the show is still mindbogglng to me. I thought they received positive reviews from critics and fans.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the show. I might be biased as I'm a big Lakers' fan. But I think the combinaton of well established stars (Reilly, Brody, Clarke) and the least known ones did work. I really like Quincy Isaiah acting as Magic, it's perfect. The different pace between first and second season might be confusing but it's not a major flaw. The cinematography is also very good and it fits the narrative of the show. It's Lakers, 1980's Lakers, the showtime.

Again, I'm still annoyed with the show cancellation. I thought there could be more saucy stories or plots to be developed in the following seasons.

Now I freakin loved this show, the atmosphere, mood, music, actors, directors, writers all a total slam dunk. But yet again, HBO pulls the plug. Haven't seen a piece like this since Vinyl. And yeah, HBO put that out of rotation too.

Apparently it's due to lack of viewers and poor marketing. So what does it take to get a great and solid show to run several seasons? Atleast let the cast and writers complete the third season.

But then again, I guess we live in a world now, where there's 19 different reality shows about Kim Kardashian's tail. Or about two overweight sisters competing about who can eat their way into an oversized coffin first.

What can ya say?

Pull the plug!

I don't understand the negative reviews. John C Riley kills it!!

I came into this with really no expectations at all.

I wasn't excited and a bit skeptical.

But so far I'm loving it.

The guy who plays Jerry West really shines as well and somewhat hilarious.

And breaking the fourth wall was a genius idea.

10 times better than watching the lakers this season, 9/10.

I don't know if every detail is correct and I don't care. This show is FUN. The depiction of jerry west is hysterical; I wouldn't be surprised if jerry has already sued the show. I never rooted for the Lakers though I always admired their style. This series takes you back to a time when sports was about competition and fun and not about slogans on the court.
