"Winning Time" is a fun, engaging, funny, poignant, and hilarious show. The acting from the two main newcomers (playing Magic and Kareem) is really, really good. John C. Reilly, ALWAYS a great actor, gives enthusiasm to the story. He moves it along and never looks fake. Love the forth wall approach, since i absolutely think Adam McKay's "The Big Short" was one of the best films I've ever seen.
I have got to point out one actor in particular: Rob Morgan, who plays Magic Johnson's dad. He gives such a heartfelt, intense, father performance that he almost had me in tears with his lines.
Adam McKay has the "Magic" touch when it comes to hilarity, but watch out: he can turn it into tragedy or sorrow on a dime. I am guaranteed to have a great time on the court with this show.
