Wildcats: Jamais vaincus

The portions of the show that are actually about football are great. However, a huge portion is just boring and cringeworthy teen drama dialogue that goes one much too long. Picture keeping up with the Kardashians but with teenage girls doing nothing particularly interesting...just driving around and whatnot.

After watching the entire series I honestly feel like this would've been much better being two totally separate three episode series. As a 40+ year old man I am fascinated by the football aspect, the coaching, and the scandal associated with Coach Probst throughout his career. I really could not care less about who the players are dating or the little cutesy high school drama that they tried to cram into the middle of the series. Pull the series.. do some quick cutting and pasting and make it two different documentaries. One about football and another of our high school girlfriends.

I am a huge fan of the Hard Knocks / All or nothing / Last chance U type reality TV series, as they focus on the coaches / players and the associated drama that goes with those roles.

However after the first 2 or 3 episodes of Titletown High, it's obvious Netflix are aiming this series more as a 'Bold and The Beautiful' / 'Days of our lives' soap drama.

Honestly I wouldn't waste your time. The series barely focuses on the game / players and instead focuses on their love life, and how they cheat on each other and the drama associated with that.

I am being generous by giving the football half of the show a 5 and the other half of teenage drama a 0. Just not for me but I'm sure the high school crowd who the show is aimed at will find it interesting.

I would've loved to see more of a docu-style dig into coach Probst and why Nub was so after him. Nub is a totally douche baby but it could've been more interesting with more of a backstory instead of a quick fill in about Probst's past at the end. Don't want to give anything away but it just looked like there was more story to be told of the coaches and players rather than rock for brains Grayson and his high school love triangle.

SweeZ.

I was a sophomore/junior in HS when MTV's Two-a-Days aired. I loved that show and loved how they balanced football with the off-the-field lives of the coaching staff and players.

Titletown High attempts to recreate the magic of MTV's TAD - the bring back an entertaining coach in Coach Propst and the creator/producer/director behind the MTV series returns.

However, the issue is that TH focuses about 65-75% of each episode on the private lives of HS students - two relationships in particular. The football focus is interlaced but very minimal - apart from 2 players (a backup QB that takes over the starting job and a second string D-lineman who is as douchey as a high school guy can get) we don't really get to know much about the team or the coaches.

What MTV TAD did so well was balance the football action - focus on a handful of players and player's families (and the relationships of a few of those players) while also showing us what the coaches go through. TH barely shows propst outside of the office or the field and the don't follow any of the other coaches at all. (Which is a shame because a few of those coaches seemed interesting - particularly the Offensive Coordinator/QB coach who seemed to really have a bond with his players)

Because this was filmed in the fall of 2020 I am assuming that COVID impacted how much the crew could work with people. I'm assuming this is why the focused on two players and their relationships so much and not on 5-6 "star" players and the main coaches like MTV TAD.

With the dismissal of Rush Propst from Valdosta State I can't imagine we will get a season 2 of this show - however, I would be interested in seeing what this show would look like without COVID regulations which clearly hampered its production.

Also, Nub is a Jerk that didn't get his way so he torpedoed Coach Propst.
