America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys

Just finished the 3rd episode & it's 1:48 am ct. I cannot stop watching. Amazing thus far! I'm a die-hard Chicago Bears fan who grew up watching the Bulls & the Cowboys as a Chicago kid in the 90s. I almost forgot how great this team was even though I've always known the end results. Amazing to see that they built this team from nothing into something special.

Ignore the low ratings. Must be anti-Cowboy fans. Shouldn't matter who you are a fan of but I get it, I couldn't watch 5 mins of Aaron Rodgers "Enigma" or whatever it's called, but lets face it, A-Rod is kind of a turd as a person. Similar to Favre. If they were cool, I'd watch it even as a Bears fan but neither are cool guys. Brady's docs are great, but this is the best football doc series I've ever seen & compares to The Last Dance.

Excellent overall editing, music & sound incl. Extremely high & redefined images with sound fx from the field gives this doc great edge. Perfect interviews- not a yawner by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, I do feel like some players are being left out but that's how it goes in these successful documentaries. You gotta watch the sidebars for more from guys like Luc Longley or Toni Kukoc on youtube if you loved "The Last Dance" so I hope the same goes for the Cowboy stars who didn't get their due (at least assuming they don't later having finished 3 episodes).

This is an amazing documentary. As a Cowboys fan for all of my 63 years, this brought back good and not so good memories. It reminded me of why I love football and the Cowboys in particular. I agree with the previous review that the game sequences are so well done. I was biting my nails all over again! After trying to swear off the team after the last playoff loss to Green Bay, I couldn't do it. This reminds me that hope springs eternal.

An amazing story told by the people who lived it. I'm old enough to have grown up with the Cowboys of the 70s followed by immense success in the 90s. Love it or hate it the story itself is incredible. It is one of the most intriguing historical dramas in all of sports. They did a great job here. The only issue I can find really is that we want more. There's never enough time to get all the stories in and all the details. The subject matter is so intriguing that I could listen to their stories all day as they dissect different things that we've heard about or maybe saw snippets of as they were occurring. To get the backstory of a lot of these things is so interesting. Hopefully there is enough video left to add an epilogue to all of this so they can give us more someday.

They know they did something right when the only thing we can complain about is that we want more! Well done!

This is an overall good documentary. However, the music/score is at times unbearable. It gets incredibly loud and intense far too often. Once you notice this, the documentary can become challenging to sit through. In terms of content, the documentary is good, covering interesting stories throughout the 90s with lots of great cast.

I'm through Episode 5 so far, and this documentary has it all. It dives deep into the backstory of the Cowboys, with incredible real locker room footage and game highlights from back in the day. Even though you know the final scores, the buildup to each matchup keeps the tension and excitement alive. I love these kinds of documentaries!

This is a high-level sports documentary engaging, authentic, and really well put together. It feels very much in the style of Man in the Arena: Tom Brady, as well as the recent Receiver and Quarterback series. If you're a football fan (or just love great sports storytelling), this is an absolute must-watch.
