WORD ON THE STREET Ep.33 'Lights, Camera, Action' | What makes a good sports doc? | Flops and success stories | Off The Ball

And the first season was fine.

OTB Football
WORD ON THE STREET Ep.33 'Lights, Camera, Action' | What makes a good sports doc? | Flops and success stories | Off The Ball

Usually, if I'm watching a sports documentary, like, I'm locking in.

OTB Football

But this is one, like, you'd keep one eye on it.

And the second season, I finished it there the other day.

OTB Football

So boring.

OTB Football

Oh, yeah.

Like, is it Tyrese Alliburton?

His girlfriend features in it a lot.

And it's, like, they spend an entire episode on...

OTB Football

of her just being like, please propose to me soon.

OTB Football

And he's like winking at the camera because he's got all of these secret plans to propose to her in Paris.

And like, if that was a tiny bit of a story, maybe it'd be fine.

OTB Football
WORD ON THE STREET Ep.33 'Lights, Camera, Action' | What makes a good sports doc? | Flops and success stories | Off The Ball

But it just took over and it was so cheesy.

OTB Football
WORD ON THE STREET Ep.33 'Lights, Camera, Action' | What makes a good sports doc? | Flops and success stories | Off The Ball

I didn't actually, I didn't finish it, which is unheard of, really.

OTB Football
WORD ON THE STREET Ep.33 'Lights, Camera, Action' | What makes a good sports doc? | Flops and success stories | Off The Ball

Yeah, that's almost a little bit too personal.

OTB Football
WORD ON THE STREET Ep.33 'Lights, Camera, Action' | What makes a good sports doc? | Flops and success stories | Off The Ball

Like, yes, we want the personal stories, but they still have to be related to the sport, right?

OTB Football
WORD ON THE STREET Ep.33 'Lights, Camera, Action' | What makes a good sports doc? | Flops and success stories | Off The Ball

we're watching it for i think like if it's a completely random like oh i'm waiting for this proposal like i could watch that from an influencer on tiktok like i don't need to watch a full episode yeah it's so cringe it's imbalanced it's not i'm not surprised to hear that it's been well cancelled or it's not coming back for a third season yeah like top players in the game like it's they should have done so much better with it but it was boring that raises an interesting question that i know we're gonna get to in a second but um

OTB Football

Whether it's enough to have just superstars in your documentary, because I think what we're seeing from a lot of the kind of more failed ones, even like the tennis breaking point is that and the Six Nations, the what was called full contact, which we'll get to shortly.

OTB Football
WORD ON THE STREET Ep.33 'Lights, Camera, Action' | What makes a good sports doc? | Flops and success stories | Off The Ball

They can have the biggest names in the sport and still the documentary won't kind of resonate with audiences.

OTB Football

I think the difference is, especially for the rugby, and I read this somewhere, I think it was an RT article, where they were talking about how the Six Nations kind of lacked the drama of a lot of the other examples.
