Not sure why we suddenly seem to have more of these formulaic shows about coaches and dysfunctional sports teams, but this show is not too bad! At first, I thought it would be about an unlikable coach who is a miserable human being, but actually ends up being a likable person that we can learn some life lessons from while he finds his own redemption. That's a good kind of "feel-good" story that doesn't seem (yet) to be overly (and overtly) dipped in all the political correctness and social justice messaging that's forced onto us these days by Hollywood. Big Shot doesn't have the humor and delivery that Ted Lasso has nor its ridiculous premise, but quickly establishes itself as a tad more serious but still light-hearted, less adult comedy.
Of course, if you want the kiddie version, you can watch The Might Ducks: Game Changers, which has has the most ridiculous premise, barely hanging onto what little association anyone can remember about the original movie.
Now, if Disney comes out with a show about a washed up ex-NFL coach who has to coach a South Korean high school football team made up of kids trying to dodge military service, I think we'll complete the set!
