We Are the Brooklyn Saints (TV Series)

"[It] doesn't always make logical 'sense' and it sometimes likes the eager chaos around football more than football itself. But it doesn't lack for heartwarming moments and underdog sports excitement" 

"Part of the power of 'Saints' is how it balances what 'the world' means for the kids versus what it means for the grown-ups preparing them to someday live in it." 

"As much fun as it is to watch these sweet kids and their protective guardians put their all into the game, though, 'Brooklyn Saints' is too often content to skim along the surface of the story rather than digging deeper (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)" 

"'We Are the Brooklyn Saints' is beautiful, not just in terms of its subject matter, but in its look and sound and rhythm" 

"[It] is designed to be heartwarming and inspirational, and Valdez hits the mark on both" 

"What makes the series so compelling is the multi-faceted portrait it paints of the lead characters and where they live." 

"While 'Brooklyn Saints' is a competent enough docu-series, it loses some intensity that could have made it a home run." 

"At 4 episodes, Netflix’s 'We Are: The Brooklyn Saints' shows how sport goes beyond competition (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
