CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

william_scheler The Coach in season 3 is the biggest reason why this was the best season. A White guy from Compton. 'The Eminem of football coaching.' He truly cares about his players and sympathizes with them. He is edgy but he gets the most out of his players and he does not leave the players defeated even if he harsh. Truly tough love. Also, the football teams history was very poor, so it made it more of a comeback story. Season 3 scores a 10! Season 1 and 2 is also really good but start with season 3.

jonathan1995-746-926939 The layout of most episodes follows like this:Players train up for a match and you get to follow their lives and the backstory of a bunch of players that the documentary focuses on. Especially the coach.You get an insight in what their studies is like and what hardships they face.The episode finishes with a football match that is edited with suspensefulness like a movie. There is much to like about this series as you see the team spirit throughout and beyond the team to the town folks.

Adam Reeb My review for "Last Chance U" after watching two seasons. I waited to write this review until I completed the second season of the show because I wanted to see if changes were made by Buddy Stephens. I am glad I waited because I now have even more fuel to throw at that overweight bully. In the first season, Coach Stephens has some choice words for his players after the massive brawl with Delta at the end of the first season. He refers to them as thugs and rednecks. He berates and insults them on a daily basis by telling them to "Shut Up" all the time. This man is no coach and it is obviously he only cares about his status as a coach rather than the players he coaches. Season one ends with EMCC being disqualified from the post season.Season two opens with Buddy Stephens giving his "Woe is Me" speech and saying how he is going to change after viewing himself in the first season. He even goes as far and doing push ups for cursing. (That won't last long). After a few episodes he continues to berate his players by constantly telling the to "shut up" and goes as far as to tell his own coaching staff that they are terrible. The running back gets a serious injury, concussion, and is treated properly but when he sprains his ankle the coaches call him weak and punish him for being hurt. Coach Stephens is a horrible coach, he doesn't care about his players. He only cares about his National Championship, is JUCO Buddy not the NCAA, relax. At the end of the second season, the finale game, Buddy is shown having a one way conversation with Coach Wood, he is yelling and cursing at him, in front of the players mind you, and kicks him off the sideline. This guy kicked his own OC off the sideline. The show is good but Buddy Stephens is a real piece of work and terrible person. The loss in staff shows you he is impossible to work with and the only sad thing about the second season was Ms. Wagner leaving.

boeing100 "Last Chance U" is a fantastic program in many aspects, but shines the most at a human level. The vast majority of these young men have gone through many hardships in their life, and see EMCC as their golden ticket to a potential future to the NFL. Director Greg Whitely did a fantastic job at capturing the highs and lows, both on and off the field of this band of brothers. You quickly get very invested in the different players as you cheer them on at each touchdown. The show also makes you feel like a disappointed sibling, when some of the players miss class, or fall short from some of their training.Some might argue that Coach Stephens is the centerpiece to this large and complex puzzle, but in my opinion Brittany Wagner, the school's academic adviser, absolutely steals the show. She is the loving and caring mother figure that many of the players desperately need and pours her heart and soul to make sure all of them keep on track for success.Another absolute must watch from Netflix, which will keep you engaged from beginning to end.
