Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney often take pride and honor in flaunting the achievements of Wrexham AFC. Convincingly so, considering the club has risen to monumental success and proliferation ever since the iconic takeover in 2021. Moreover, to showcase their stepping stones to the world, the pair made a triumphant TV show, Welcome to Wrexham. 

Wrexham AFC’s uphill journey toward EFL motivated several upper-echelon stars to invest in football clubs. Now, it makes all the more sense, taking into account how one of the episodes from the show has emerged as a critics’ favorite in 2023.

Welcome to Wrexham continues its legacy, becoming a critics’ favorite

Making it to The Hollywood Reporter’s critics’ list of favorites, the second episode, The Quiet Zone from Welcome to Wrexham season 2 left a lasting impression. In contrast to the initial season, the second one sought deeply into the lives of the Wrexham crew. This particular episode drew connections with Wrexham superfan, Millie Tipping, who has autism, shedding light on how it helped Paul Maulin to comprehend his own son’s autism.

Hitting the emotional note right, Welcome to Wrexham became living proof of how it is more than just a show. A compelling parallel was drawn, intertwining the community space with that of the all-star athletes to emphasize the concept of indifference. As it is, with the year drawing to a close, Wrexham AFC added another bling to its achievement with its show, Welcome to Wrexham.

Welcome to Wrexham’s initiation into the world of television made a victorious affirmation. While there have been many sports documentaries that have resonated with prominence, Welcome to Wrexham took its bet with the best possible storytelling.

Welcome to Wrexham’s saga of influence

Welcome to Wrexham came along with the dream of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s attempt to revive the third-oldest football club with the vision of betterment for the Wrexham community. As was said by Reynolds, “Football writes the most incredible scripts.”, one could not have agreed more. Previously, the pair did not have much experience in managing the sports team.

Yet, that remains as the ghosts of the past because Wrexham AFC’s qualifying for the National League wooed the world. With their promotional prowess, it made The Walt Disney Company move three FA Cup matches involving the club to feature in ESPN2 and ESPNews. Needless to say, making the best of both worlds, having conquered the football premises, the co-owners are now parading the television landscape.
