Although I might be a little biased here given that I am a citizen I still recommend everyone to watch this. A roller coaster ride of emotions. Although it might be diffcult for people who show little or no interest in football, I still suggest that this a must watch. Blue moon!

This isn't the first time there has been a backroom "fly on the wall" documentary of a professional football club. Amazing to see the full access to staff and players from Manchester City. Interesting to see how passionate Guardiola is and how well he works with the team and staff. Excellently produced. Seems however shaun-721-897376might be a Man United fan :)

This is a fascinating documentary into modern football. I remember watching a similar programme about Neil Warnock's Sheffield Utd years ago and I suppose if you put this side by side with that it would paint a glaring picture of the way the sport, its players and its managers have changed forever. It's obvious from the outset that money drips off every part of the top level of this sport but it's interesting to see how it has been used to shape footballers into almost superhuman athletes with the best marketing in the world. The reason I enjoyed this documentary so much was mainly the insight it gives into Pep Guardiola. I have obviously heard all the cliches about the man before but this was the first time I felt actually understood why he has been so successful. Yes he has great teams and yes he gets huge amounts of financial support but his passion and outstanding man management are undeniable. Every scene featuring Guardiola is hugely watchable and often gripping.

Fans have mostly been kept in the dark regarding what goes behind the scenes at a football club, that too the size of Manchester City and other premier league clubs. This documentary has given unparalleled access to how the team talks, locker room, transfer strategies and daily functionings of the club work. Add to this the raw emotion and the best ever Premier league season for a team in history, this makes for a deeply informative and enthralling view for all football fans, though it is understandable how some rivals will frown upon this as is the culture in world football today. Amazon have done a far better job with Manchester City than Netflix did with Juventus with barely any access other than some different angles of press conferences etc. This is a joyride which takes you through the whole season the club had with every bit of happy, sad, painful and victorious moments as never seen before. This changes your perspective on club football. Amazing.

Greatest season for manchester city portrayed in a beautiful cinematic documentary! Must watch for any fan!

I'll start off by saying I'm a Man Utd fan. However, I'm a football fan first and foremost, I appreciate the artistry of football, I love watching teams who play beautifully and attack with creativity. And I take my hat off to Pep and the Man City team, they are wonderful to watch, a special team.

And thats what makes this documentary so good - not only do we get an unprecedented look behind the scenes of a premier league football club, we also get to see the journey Pep and his players took in a record-breaking season. It's a captivating story - if you are a fan of football, watch it.

I am not a Manchester City supporter, I am however a fan of football, particularly when the game is played with style and panache. Fascinating to watch a renowned manager manage a team of very expensively assembled footballers. Is it possible to generate a team spirit within a group of highly paid sportsmen? Spending huge sums of money guarantees nothing, Hollywood big budget movies don't always hit the mark. Expensively assembled teams don't always perform as collectively as their price tag would imply. This 'fly on the wall' documentary gives outsiders the chance to see how a team is shaped. How a manager driven, almost manically, by if not perfection, at least by the desire to try to achieve perfection. The desire to win however does not come above all else. The club's understanding of David Silva's desire to take time away from the team to be with his wife and prematurely born son is handled with compassion and understanding. Of course we don't get the warts and all version, it's unreasonable to expect that, but we do get more insight into a big time football club than anyone could ever have believed possible. Truly fascinating.

I never write reviews, but felt compelled too after watching this show , I'm a huge Liverpool fan but so didn't know if I would like this , it just shows how hypocritical Jose Mourinho is after his comments about the show, this show is a must watch for any football fan, shows how footballers although they make a large amount of money, really it's all about winning.

Incredible club, manager, season, access, film-making...

This is how documentaries should be!! Kudos to Amazon for providing us, the passionate fans of this beautiful game, a much needed, detailed insight. Aptly depicts how the life is at the zenith of the footballing pyramid. Maybe a difficult one to watch if you don't follow football, otherwise, you will experience every possible emotion. I will just end it with the famous quote of Martin Tylor: "Watch it, drink it in, I swear you'll never see something like this, again!!"

I've watched all of the 'All of Nothing' series and am equally interested in NFL, football and rugby but I found this one to be a massive disappointment.

It really doesn't deliver anything of particular interest, you don't get to know any of the players beyond the usual 'scratching the surface' kind of stuff and the episodes became repetitive. Perhaps it is a victim of the very nature of a football season in that there are 60 odd games to weave a story through, whereas the NFL and rugby series get to concentrate on far fewer games.

Hearing from Guardiola was interesting, but the majority of his dressing room and training ground appearances, (which should have been amazing as this is a side of football we never get to see), were indecipherable. I rarely had a clue what he was saying and judging by the looks on their faces, nor did the players.

Caring about the players is what can really make these series tick but you don't get anything from them beyond the kind of mundane stuff you regularly hear on Sky Sports or Match of the Day. I guess it's hard to get interesting sound bites or insights from the players when the majority of them speak English as a 2nd language. I wonder how much they were really allowed to say because they never spoke about anything of interest.

One of the elements of a football match that I have always been keen to see and hear, are the coaches and even the players discussing things on the bench during a game. Why was there almost none of this? The seemingly endless highlights of games would have benefited from having something to break them up and not hearing from anyone during the games felt like a missed opportunity.

Should have been brilliant but was rather underwhelming

Such a great insight into life as a Manchester City player last season. As a City fan, I loved every minute of it as I got to see a different view of how they live, work & play. Would recommend to any football fan.

The 115 charges will follow this team through the annals of time.

Can they achieve a 100 points season while adhering to financial fair play rules? Nah man.

Season after season success without the romance that keeps the neutral fans attention.

Financially engineering The Treble will quickly be forgotten and diminished when compared to the unprecedented accolade of doing it or future openly clean methods of repeating the feat.

115 charges.

Did they invest well in the locality and improve their academy? They did indeed.

115 charges.

If Phil Foden becomes an all time great under their tenure that's credited to the youth academy could the English F. A. overlook all this?

*115 Financial fair play charges will be attached to everything.

The entire thing is just too controlled, which makes everything seem too glossy and perfect. I reluctantly watched after being promised a previously unseen insight to the world of top level football. I did not receive this and instead sat through hours of advertising for man city.

If you're a EPL fan you'll love this. Manchester City did something extremely special! We are lucky to experience it.

What a team Manchester City was in 17/18, playing football we've never seen in the premier league before, the coverage of how they went about it included the good & bad times was just the icing on the cake really. Congratulations to Pep Guardiola and his team on a remarkable season despite all the critique he received when he first joined the league. The Centurions

A season to remember and this series is memorable too.

Even though there aren't too many low points, the way you get to see everyone in and around the club deal with those, as well as all the highs as very well done.

The passion on display from the players, Pep and the backroom stuff, the heart and soul they seem to put into their work, even behind the scenes where we normally wouldn't see it.

100% recommend, even if not a City fan it's just all round interesting and fascinating to look at!

( Don't look at the bitter reviews that the United fans leave here - although, I'd be bitter too if a 'small club' with 'no fans' was better run than the so called biggest club in the world ;) )

Incredible insight into the day to day life of a football club, its manager, players and staff. Made even more incredible by it covering one of the most remarkable seasons a premier league team has ever had.

However it's the humanity, pain, suffering, joy and elation on show that really gripped me.

I watched the All or Nothing series about the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby and was very impressed by it. This new series on Manchester City has been just as outstanding. I wasn't a fan of City growing up, but appreciate the behind the scenes look at what it takes to run a professional EPL team. Well done Amazon, keep up the great work on the series. Plus, it opens the eyes of the local (US) audience to other sports like soccer and rugby!

Great to see behind the scenes.awesome cinematography of a great season. Fantastic to see behind the scenes of a big football club.

Absolutely brilliant, complete insight! Best football documentary you will ever watch. The way ot has been filmed is amazing too. Fantastic job by Manchester City and Amazon.

This documentary being agreed to by Manchester City is ground breaking, it's never been done before in the Premier League era. It's a different style to the Juventus one on Netflix, which focuses more on players and their lives Football, this is more of a football focused piece. We don't see much of the players outside of training or playing, which disappoints me a bit. I'd like to have seen how these guys live once they hang their boots up and head home.

That said it's fascinating to watch how Pep and his team work; in the modern day of ultra athletes. From training, tactics, motivation to cutting edge medical science this is an eye opener for the general public. If you're an avid football fan this is worth watching, and I believe will soon be done by most big clubs around Europe.

. . . they chose this one! The most unromantic football club that has ever existed, and a documentary that is as sanitized as you'd expect. Who takes any of their achievements seriously?

A documentary as empty, vapid and soulless as the club itself. And some of the most suspicious positive reviews you'll ever see.

Does anyone know when this will be released ?? Probably in time for Christmas ?! Only seen the first episode, as yet, but brilliant and addictive.....A lot of money has gone into this production and seems a million years since the first City VHS documentary 'Life with the Blues'....Done on the cheap !
