This show, honestly, sometimes the most emotional episodes only tangentially involve any football.

I wasn’t sure where this one was going at first (I was like, are we lionizing Ryan Reynolds?) , and then it went in a totally unexpected direction with the “my gay parents” reveals and everything else, and I was so emotional by the end. Seeing so many people talking about their feelings when you know they normally don’t was really wild. It was such a brilliant and surprising way to get to know everyone.

They've always been really good at telling the human side of the story, and I think that's why the sports stuff ends up being interesting to us non-sports folks. I really do not care about football/soccer at all. I care A LOT about everyone associated with Wrexham -- the players, the team's owners and management, the town. A LOT.
