Welcome to Wrexham
Welcome to Wrexham is one of the best sports documentary series ever produced. You may think that I am being hyperbolic, but I am not. There are some things that don't land particularly well, which are to do with the trapping of Hollywood and celebrity. But at its heart, this series takes a look at what it means to be a football fan and what it means to have a football team in a town that has its glory days firmly in the past. There are intimate moments from players, team staff, fans, and locals. The series shows how the team is so important for the town because without it the town wouldn't have much else to offer. If you are unaware, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhinney purchased this club a few years ago and the documentary is a way to create interest in the project. It's a bit long and some of the episodes don't land, but it is a great document of one small town's football club and a quite remarkable season.
