Laliga: Mas allá del gol does a good job capturing the different backstories, rivalries and development of the LaLiga season in a relatively short amount of time.

It's always a challenge to cover every team in great detail, but I feel the correct stories have been chosen to highlight in the series. Also, quite a lot of big names (David Villa, Iker Casillas, Xavi, Lewandowski, Rakitic, etc.) are interviewed to shed their perspective on things which is always better than "outsiders".

What I also like is that the drama is not forced. If you have some football knowledge you know that most of what is being said is true. Therefore, liking it more than the sometimes "forced" drama of for instance Drive to Survive.

Overall a pleasent watch, although no groundbreaking or shocking reveals throughout the series.

I'm a little bit addicted to sports documentaries, as they usually provide fascinating insights into how the sport really works and the personalities behind the football clubs or the teams. And this one is no different. I didn't know much about La Liga before watching this and now I'm super interested in that league. I like how it focuses on all the teams in the league, even those battling relegation. If you like sports documentaries then this is a great one, except that it has this fake commentary when they're showing excerpts from matches which is just infuriating and awful. It's the same annoying voice every time.

I hope they improve this if there's a season two, but definitely worth a watch overall!
