Would love to see them explore single stories more. The Tim Parker story was great, but that episode also tried to tell stories about Bradley Carnell, Johnny Russell, Peter Vermes, the owners on both sides, etc. A stronger focus on any one of those stories would have been much more intriguing. 3/7 - ThreadSky

Also, as much as I love guys like Mo Edu and Herc Gomez, it did feel a little weird to have them being the people to give context to all these stories. I feel like inclusion of fan perspectives in those bits would have been more effective and made you care more about what was going on. 4/7

In my experience, people fall in love with MLS (and soccer in general) not because they are blown away by the quality of play, but because of the experiences they have when they go to the stadium and take it in for themselves. 5/7

That passion is what needs to be shared with people who don't know a lot about MLS or soccer. People who love the sport, the team, and the players, should be the ones talking about why the stories are important. Injecting a bit of that would have made the series much better. 6/7

I'll give it a 7.5/10 for now, will probably watch again in the coming weeks and have more to say. But, boy, do I hope that MLS keeps working on content like this. This is the kind of thing we've been begging for on Season Pass, and I'd hate for this to be a one and done. 7/7
