Last Chance U (Netflix Series)

Not getting along with your position coach is one thing, but it was clear his teammates didn't like him either. That's even more damning.

Only a few episodes in, but saw about him stealing food from Chauncey when he was asleep....and then daring him/egging him on to do something. I wish someone would have put him in his place.

DON'T SPOILER ME DAMMIT

I've watched both seasons and man is it a fantastic show. It's not to see guy's like Dakota Allen and DeAndre Johnson bouncing back and being successful in life. Johnson made a mistake, but he sure seems like a great guy with a great support system. Kam Carter is an example of pure entitlement. The guy had a solid home growing up and didn't want for anything, yet is so ill mannered. It's amazing how many players told him that wouldn't make it anywhere in life over the course of the season. I also liked Jay Johnson and Maleke Bell.

And yet he found his way onto a D-1 football team. Most likely due to his frame, and the possibilities of molding him into a disruptive force. Crazy.

I think I was most disappointed in Isaiah Wright.
If he truly was dealing with a nagging injury, continuing to play on it may have been one of the most detrimental things he could have done.
He looked so promising in the first season when he had the ball in his hand.

What happened to Wright, the way Buddy dealt with him, and his past were just hella deflating to me. Shit made me sad, hope he rebounds at West Georgia

I've got one more episode to go. I'm terrible with names, so I can't add much to the conversation. But the Kam-whatever-his-name-is guy is the worst. Of course, the show can cherry pick everyone's behavior and show what they want, so maybe we're only seeing his down side. But I wouldn't let that guy near any organization I happened to be allowed to control. Other guys seem OK, but I'm amazed at the number of guys who are totally oblivious to the fact that they have to go to classes. Some have no idea where they're supposed to be. Or the part where they're amazed that they fail the tests after acing the homeworks. Duh - you copied off each other to get the homeworks done, and you didn't learn the stuff. Maybe I'm in for a rude awakening when my kids get that age, but it's just amazing that these kids are this immature about school.

That Isiah Wright tragedy of this season is just sad. Ever since Season 1 when he put himself in on kickoff and ran it back to light the fuse, I was a fan. Really really wonder about how the concussions took a toll on him. Kid seemed like a warrior and had it going right, but then his demeanor started to change. Then it just all piled up and the light seemed to be fading. Personal problems and how Coach Stephens dealt with him in not recognizing him as a person were terrible.

Everything else, just as good if not better than last year's. This stuff is captivating. Wishing the best for most (but not all) of those kids. Different world.
