Welcome to Wrexham: Wide World of Wales (2022)
Remember the audience
The lower rating doesn't surprise me, and I suspect this is mainly from people already familiar with football and familiar with Wales, or those who just want a pure football documentary. This episode is aimed more at the US audience, or those more familiar with US TV tropes.
They want to grow the club, and to do this they need to appeal to a broader audience. The Late Night and Sportscenter setups will resonate with the section of the audience who came to the series on the back of the Hollywood star power, rather than existing club support.
A very entertaining standalone episode that isn't essential to all viewers, but rewards those who do watch it.
Black Panther (2018)
Ignore the reviewer propaganda, the film is excellent.
I have to be honest, the amount of 1* reviews is a sad indictment of America, rather than the film. As a non-US reviewer with no racial prejudice, I could enjoy the film for what it is, an extremely deep and highly enjoyable action flick. For me, the best film of the MCU, narrowly edging out Ragnarock. Ignore the blatant racism in the reviews and trust the critics. It's fantastic.
