First Team: Juventus

It's showing us life of a football player, their dedication and anything you should know if you're a big Juventus fan. Why i gave 7 stars and not 10? Because it has just 1 season with 3 episodes.

First Team Juventus is a really thrilling and informative look at the inner workings and behind the scenes (the day to day lives) of one of European/World football's elite clubs: Juventus.

The story arc follows Juventus' 2017/2018 season and profiles a number of their players, both homegrown (Gigi Buffon,Georgio Chiellini) to their stellar imports (Paulo Dybala, Gonzalo Higuain, Juan Cuadrado, etc.).

Given the results of their 2017/2018 Champions League run thus far, it could prove to have a climactic second half of the (docuseries') season.

Sadly the passion and interest level found in Sunderland till I die is missing from this show. It's very well put together but doesn't quite hit the high levels needed. The narrators voice is strangely out of place in a sea of italian language. It might have been better to source a narrator with an italian accent speaking english to maintain that authenticity. watch a few episodes but you will soon get bored.

It's beautifully put together, really nice shots and some interesting insights in the personal life of the players, but I mostly think that it's just a big sales pitch of how big of a club Juventus is. Don't get me wrong. I like the club Juventus and the values they stand for, but it's just not it. There's no real insight in tactics, and it made me feel like it was all acting and nothing I saw was real. The commentary is an endless stream club values and is only there to add some unrealistic 'match of the century-'suspense before big games. During the 4th episode I couldn't handle the way it was told anymore. 5 stars for the way it was filmed.

Inside look into an Elite Football (Soccer) Club, showing the ups and downs, club traditions, even a glimpse into the personal lives of players.

definitely worth watching for anyone, even more for a football fan and a must for a Juventino
