Sunderland 'Til I Die - Série 3

At the river where ships were built, a fierce game of football is still being played, and at least once a documentary series has been made about it. Unfortunately, this time it is more of a mini-series, which, what I always enjoyed the most, that is, the rises and falls in the table throughout the whole season, is approximately squeezed into the middle of a single episode. The rest is devoted to other more or less anonymous residents and, of course, to those highly anticipated matches for everything. It is by far the weakest chapter of the Sunderland chronicle, which most of the time seems forced and purely for the amusement of eager fans, which pleases me. Unfortunately, the joy of creation is gone at first and second glance, and points are only gained by the power of sports sentiment, a surprisingly natural sense of logical closure of the cycle, and a twist that would seem exaggerated in a movie, but here it was written by life.
