I must say that my view of this documentary may have been compromised by my way too high expectations. As a long time fan of the Tour de France, who followed this rendition of the tour very closely, i must say that many of these tension points constructed through out the stages simply are too exaggerated. An example is the alp d'huez stage, where it seemed at all the weight of the EF team was put upon the shoulders of Powless, even though the stage wasn't really close at all, as Pidcock showed pure dominance on the ascent. EF also already got a win some days earlier, which means that their tour had already been saved. This is of course just one example, as there are many more of the same things going on in each episode. This false dramy kind of seems tacky for me, as i really don't believe it was nescecary. I also think that the inclusion of too much drama came at a cost of leaving other perhaps greater things out of the picture.
Even though it might seem like i didn't enjoy the documentary, given the critisicm above, i did actually enjoy the watch. It still makes me reminisce the emotions of the tour, while also including great behind the scene footage, which makes the riders and staff seem much more human than they may appear on the bike.
Even though the documentary has its flaws, my recommendation would still be that you should watch it, as it still is a montage of great tour moments mixed with some interesting behind the scene footage.
