Bye Bye Barry (2023)
A proper goodbye to a legendary figure
I have always been a Barry Sanders fan, and one of the few who understood when he walked away from the game when he did. We have become so custom in our society to big egos among great athletes, propelling them to hang on in a sport that they no longer have the skills to compete in, getting by on name alone. Not Barry, not for one second! The phrase "lightning in a bottle" is often used to describe the tremendous amount of power and energy in a small package of time or mass... Barry Sanders was an entire global storm measuring 5'8"! His highlights are just as eye popping now, as they were then- he's a truly amazing bad ass, a man among men for all time. There will never be another Barry Sanders, what a great father, what a great story how he was his father's son. I forgot how fun the NFL used to be, thank you for everything Barry, most of all for being Barry Sanders every step of the way.

Forgettable, terrible ending and wrap up
With great acting, a very promising storyline, this series was pretty decently paced, had somewhat shocking scenes, and captured the feels of 1994 quite well. Unfortunately, there was no explanation for roughly a third of all the bizarre, inane things that occurred throughout this dragged out, empty plot. There was also very little justification, which is even worse.
The lead actors were GREAT, really put on a great show with what they had to work with, but the viewer will be let down, big time, with the stupid ending. This entire thing could've been a decent 2 hour film, stretching out 8 episodes is insulting to the viewer.
