Thanks to Trill Clinton for recommending this one.

I watched the first 4 (out of 6) last night. Follows a juco football team that draws some of the best D1 cast offs who are trying to make it back.
Great show. Details all the various issues the staff and players go through trying to make sure these kids can make the grades and move on.
Shows the day to day struggles as well as some good footage of the games. A little bit like a real life Remember the Titans.

It's nice to get away from the crime docs once in a while.

Will watch the last 2 episodes tonight but looks like it's an easy:
8.5/10

Did you start with season 1? its one of the best series on Netflix imo. EMCC had some bad ass teams.

Oh shit...I didn't know there were multiple seasons. Damn, I'm excited now knowing that I won't be done after tonight.
I just checked and it looks like I am on Season 1.

Yup, 4 season in total. 2 with EMCC and 2 with ICC. You're in for a ride my friend.

Damn...I finished Season 1. You really pull for these kids and almost feel nervous hoping they can get their shit together and signed somewhere.
And man...Franklin III getting that last opportunity to show what he can do. If I had read that in a novel, I'd have thought how unrealistic that would have been.
I also like that they don't shy away from the personal flaws in the coach and players.

Gets more than a bit repetitive going in. More like Fuck Up U...who cares?
