Quarterback

This documentary follows the life's and careers of 3 quarterbacks through a season into post season. Im English and do not follow American football, however love watching documentaries about them. The amount of clutch plays are incredible. I found all 3 players and their stories fascinating in particular Mahones & Cousins.

Some reviews have an issue around players wife's/ family's getting so much air time... but these are the people that mould and guide these special talents off the pitch and are as much of the their story as anyone else.

Whilst the star on the pitch is certainly Mahones... the star of the show is Cousins. The man is everything you'd want in a college, friend and family member. A true gentleman and an athlete striving as much to be a top level competitor as he is to be a great person.

As for Mahones... just wow. You want to know what a warrior and a competitor looks like, well look no further. He also seemed like a great guy very focused on his family too.

Honestly one of the best documentaries I've watched in a long time. I am a fan of the All Or Nothing series - but every single one finishes in failure. The fact this ends in success for one of the athletes makes it all the more special.

Well done Netflix, you can't make movies. But you set the bar for sports documentaries.

I know close to nothing about the NFL but I still very much enjoyed this series. I don't know the rules, terms or anything. I don't even know how the scoring system works.

It's a very good insight into the life of a worldclass athlete in a sport I know little about. Not only have I learned more about NFL but also the mind of different athletes.

I understand if some people would like an introduction to the rules but that would put off actual football fans. You don't have to know the rules, because the music and narration will tell you when they do good/bad. It's more about the players' psyches rather than the sport itself.

Very well made series in all aspects. If you are a fan of sports you will enjoy this. Netflix has been doing a great job with their sportdocs recently.

As an NFL superfan, this all-access pass to the toughest job in all of sports was by far my favorite sports-themed series of 2023 and I give it a 10/10. Looking back at Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs (my all-time favorite quarterback and NFL player), Kirk Cousins of the Vikings and Marcus Mariota of the Falcons over the course of the 2022-2023 season was enjoyable in every way possible.

If you're looking for something NFL-related during the summer while waiting for next season, then I highly recommend Quarterback if you have Netflix. Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions did a great job with NFL Films on putting together such an incredible docuseries, and I wish that there are more shows like this!

Yes it's July and I'm football starved but that doesn't matter because this is a great show. A rare insight into the games most important position & personalities that don't often get proper behind the scenes coverage.

I enjoy hard knocks but you know what you're getting: football is back & here's some roster bubble players we want you to root for.

With Quarterback the toned & focus shifts. Personally I enjoyed being able to see what Mahomes was really like away from the field. It's football rather than fame which drives him, and given all the previous press coverage about his wife and brother it's nice to see more rounded view of his life.

If you love football you'll love this show.

Great series about the 3 QBs. This series made me love Cousins even more, and he seems like an amazing guy (this is coming from a non-Vikings fan). Mariota's story is also interesting, especially learning about why he chose to separate from the Falcons after the QB change.

My biggest gripe with this series is the amount of screentime Brittany Maholmes gets. She's not a QB, so why do they focus on her and her commentary so much? She's annoying! It's as if she's talking even more because she knows she's being filmed. They don't give the other wives as much screentime, and it's great to get their take and perspective into their lives, but it's not overboard like Brittany.
