Skip the first 2-3 episodes, then you'll enjoy it.

If you want a really good Man City documentary, watch Together on their youtube channel for free.

They tried to recapture the magic, but the first two episodes are unwatchable, it's pointless marketing nonsense, there's very little understanding or appreciation for the game or the talent that goes in. This feels like it was made by the marketing department, no one else.

The worst of it is that they are trying to make everyone like it, and the result is just bland. It's not horrible, but as a fan of the game, I really don't want to listen to some journalist explaining what Champion's League is for a full minute.

All the things that worked in the original are out of tune here. That was a proper documentary, although it's on Youtube.

At first, this feels like content. Well-made and well-polished, but still just lifeless content, not a documentary.

Around the third episode, they tone down the nonsense and get back to football. There are still issues, there's still commentary from the two "reporters" who get plenty of airtime to say absolutely nothing of substance, but it's a mild annoyance.

The rest is about the football, the team, Pep's talks - all the things I loved about the original Together.
