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 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.

First of all, I'm a die-hard Cowboys fan living in DFW. Second of all, I'm in my early 30's so I know every ounce of what this documentary has to say. The sad part for me though, is I wasn't old enough to see it happen live. This documentary took me back to my childhood. Yet, it did so not from a place of nostalgia, but a place of what could be again. The Cowboys are called America's Team not because they are the most popular. They are America's Team because they symbolize what America can be. This documentary gives us an insight into what built the biggest brand in sports. Which is what America is... the biggest brand in the world. It shows it from a point of how all it takes is just a few hard-working people and a dream to achieve greatness. You don't need to be a Cowboys fan to enjoy this. You don't need to be a football to enjoy this. All you need... is to have a dream about something bigger than you.

Great content, but how did the sound mix ever pass final edits? At times, you can't hear the dialogue over the music. If not for having subtitles on, I'd have missed 1/2 of what's being said. Otherwise, even this Lions fan enjoyed an in-depth look at the Cowboys, especially the '90s teams from my childhood.

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.
