Celtics City

What a great first episode setting up a wonderful re-telling of the history of the Greatest NBA Franchise of All-Time. Well edited and very well told. This series is gonna be very bittersweet as it will dig through racial issues of the earlier days in this great franchise but will also tell the truth without a biased filter while showing the unparalleled dominance this franchise has experienced on the court throughout the years. So incredibly happy that I will get to share this with my kids when they get a bit older to help them truly understand why their Dad loves this team and this city. Also looking forward to learning more behind the scenes stories of my favorite players that I grew up watching and others that I've only seen immortalized on old game tape. Forget "Showtime" it's ALL ABOUT CELTICS CITY!

I have watched 4 episodes. I am a neutral, not even from the US, a middle-aged guy who used to watch a bit of MJ in the 1990s. Some years back, I came back to BB for Steph and his 3-point magic. So, I don't like/dislike any team or player, barring MJ who I adore.

So, I watched The Last Dance and loved it. Surprisingly, this is even better than TLD docu, because, while TLD focused on one season and one person mainly, "Celtics City" focuses on real-life issues, and its relationship with basketball. It is a very touching series in that sense. Sports can be a great unifier and throws light on society's darker areas, but it can't rectify those issues.

This is a lovely documentary on many things Celtics and some things Boston. The title seems so apt, and in one sense, a frightening reminder about the risks of not learning from history, whether it is B. Ball or society at large.

I don't know anything about Boston, but I know just enough -- that 2024 was Celtics all the way. Has Boston caught up with the Celtics? Not sure.

I believe this has the same production crew as the Netflix Last Dance series. While we have limited new content so far in the first two episodes we are talking about the beginning of the Celtics which was so long ago most players aren't around to speak about those early years. That doesn't mean they should be skipped over.

While this entry is not as good as Last Dance for broad appeal. It does have plenty of content and history pertaining to the Celtics and the NBA as a whole. Looking forward to seeing more when episode 3 comes out.

Many critiques I have seen so far have been thinly veiled opposing fans who simply haven't given this program a true chance. Which is really too bad as a non Celtics fan I am still able to be thoroughly engaged.

A marvelous series on the best sports franchise of all time and leading off with the Greatest Of All Time, Bill Russell. I watched them all, except for a few I had to listen to on radio. This series , for those who were not fans, gives you all the reasons to become a fanatic. A quarter century of the Ellay Lakers choking on Red's cigar smoke. Interviews with Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain showing how utterly devastated and broken they were because of Boston. And all the championships. Russell with a ring for every finger, both thumbs and one to wear around his neck. Bob Cousy, the Houdini of the Hardwood. My personal idol, John Havlicek Only 2 episodes in and we have yet to consider Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Dave Cowens,Dennis Johnson, Paul Pierce. So many winners and so much winning. This series shows just how easy it was to be a Celtics fan and explores just how transformative the times and the players were. Simply marvelous.

If you're interested in Celtics history (or league's history in general), it's a good series to watch. I'm looking forward to the next episodes. There aren't that many great documentaries about the NBA and I hope this one becomes one of them.

The first episodes will focus on Russell and 60s team (and deservedly so) so I think it's not interesting for everybody But as long as it remains historically accurate and have some new informations It's good with me.

If you're interested you can give it a chance, don't pay attention to these Fakers fans who thought it's their duty to write a bad review :)
