42. If you are even remotely interested in soccer, I highly recommend Welcome To Wrexham.

Dec 23

Actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny invest in a Welsh soccer (aka football) team in the bottom tier of English professional soccer. The team is based in the financially struggling town of Wrexham, and is totally beloved by the citizens.

Reynolds and McElhenny throw themselves into this venture wholeheartedly - no hint of being dilettantes. Their involvement pays off handsomely, both for the team and the town.

We binged watched seasons 1 and 2, watched season 3 as it was released week by week, and are eagerly awaiting season 4.
