With no word of a lie, this is probably one of the most unfortunate things I ever watched. It’s nominally about the genesis of football in the mid-to-late 19th century but it quickly veers off into nothing short of a Poundland version of Downton Abbey. Clichéd, awfully written, full of scenes that fail to forward the story, and an insult to entertainment in every form. I’d rather watch a ten hour documentary on the corporate structure and management of Ikea that suffer another moment of this shambles. Oh and the police turn up and shoot a bloke’s dog at one point for no real reason! Shame they didn’t miss and shoot me instead, then I wouldn’t have had the misfortune of remembering I’ve seen this show!
