Sports are indeed a large part of our lives. Our coffee-table conversations, foods, clothes, and even personalities revolve around a sport or an athlete that we solely admire. But, just as any other creation of humans, sports too were always bound to have controversies, and controversies always attract an audience. Netflix has been releasing content that is about or around sports for a long time, but it took a big leap with the release of a new original sports documentary titled Bad Sport.

One of the most popular and loved docuseries on Netflix, which ran for a total of 5 seasons, Last Chance U focuses on different college teams in every season. The series, instead of being a source of motivation or inspiration is rather more about what the name suggests – the last chance for the kids to make it into the big league. Even though the series has ended its run, the fans have another treat as Last Chance U: Basketball is here.

The Playbook

How often do we consider the fact that the minds that run a sport are just as important as the bodies? The Playbook Netflix is sort of an anthology. In each episode, a different coach from a different sport comes and talks about rules, tactics, their style of coaching, and much more. Some popular names who appear on this series include Philadelphia 76er coach Doc Rivers, soccer manager José Mourinho, and USA soccer coach Jill Ellis.
