Apple TV+ won't survive. My two cents.

 

[DotCom2]

Not my cup of tea. (pun intended )

 

[BSben]

That looks dreadful.

 

[Duncan-UK]

At least they didn't have everyone wearing bowler hats...

When I saw that they were going to make a TV show out of a character developed for a TV ad, my immediate thought was "well that will be terrible". Now I know it's a fish-out-of-water story about an American coaching a football team in England - my low expectations essentially went antipodal. Speaking as a British ex-pat living in the USA - this looks ****ing woeful.

 

[triangletechie]

Who is approving all of these shows that look horrendous?

 

[Allwrong]

I happen to like Jason Sudeikis and will give it a look. Not gonna be everyones cup of brown water.

 

[NightFox]

I'll give this a chance (nice to see Nick Mohammed in there), though I'm not clear if the primary audience for this is meant to be Americans or Brits, because tastes in comedy do differ between the two.

The same people that aren't able to say "no" to all of the OS bloat.

It's about soccer. How good can it be?

 

[Ar40]

This looks ****ing incredible. I cannot wait for this!! Jason Sudeikis doing the running man dance brought me back to What Up With That from SNL. So hyped right now. I've been waiting for this trailer for months now.

Hopefully when the next ATV is launched apple is still offering 1 year free of Apple TV.

 

[Phil A.]

As a Brit (and a big football fan), I have to say that this looks embarrassingly awful

 

[Jack Delgado]

Seems okay but the premise sounds really dumb. Not even vaguely realistic... can you imagine this premise happening in real life?

 

[itsmilo]

i was going to say that this looks like a NBC comedy pilot reject and then it shows the NBC sports logo in the corner lol

 

[gotluck]

Wondering who's attention they are trying to grab here too.

I am American and love the EPL, but that is not typical! As my interest in euro football has grown my interest in american football has decreased respectively.

Does Apple REALLY believe come November when most free subscriptions run out, many will actually pay for this stuff?

Well there's been plenty of instances in the UK where uber-rich individuals with zero knowledge or experience of football have bought top-tier clubs and tried to manage them.

I imagine that the premise of this happening with a coach in the series will perhaps be explained away by a hilarious misunderstanding over the word "football".

 

[topdrawer]

some apple tv shows may or may not be good, but their descriptions never sound interesting.

That’s why AppleTV+ (free trial) auto-renew can’t be turned off. Quite sneaky I’d say.

@Ar40. You disagree that it's not my cup of tea? LOLOLOLOL

 

[Mythos99]

I don't get who this is really for? Europeans who love football are just gonna role their eyes, and do americans even like football? Hollywood makes first fun of EuroVision on Netflix, and now football on Apple TV+.

 

[yegon]

Fair play to Apple for meeting my expectations. As an Englishman and life long “soccer” fan, after reading the synopsis and proceeding to watch the trailer, it is exactly as awful and patronising as I envisaged it would be.

Well...done?

Next up on Apple TV+ - a remake of Escape to Victory!

It seems like everyone appears to be an over the top stereotypical version of English.
It’s like the entire cast and crew have done a location shoot in England and said do what you think they act and sound like. The guy who is supposed to be Welsh doesn’t even sound Welsh.
Also why have they decided to base it in what looks like South London?
As if anyone thinks that’s going to give a realistic view of typical British and football culture.

What do you mean?
