I like John C. Reilly who plays Jerry Buss the new owner of the Lakers when the season starts. He also btw is really good at audiobooks. I'd listen to any book he narrates. He's Mr Affability. And perfectly cast for the role of Buss. #
I like the style, it's a little weird at first, but it's clever, and they break the fourth wall a few times, to good effect. #
I like that the style reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Any Given Sunday, also a sports movie.#
I like sports movies/shows. And I especially like basketball. It's my favorite sport.#
I like the story how Pat Reilly became the coach of the Lakers and led them to dynasty. #
I like that Sally Field plays Jerry Buss's mother! She's awesome as always.#
I like all the actors and roles. That's unusual. With such a huge cast you'd think there would be one impossible to watch character, but no, they're all interesting. #
I like that they will have lots of potential seasons, next up Phil Jackson and how he became the next dynastic coach of the Lakers. And don't forget Kobe and Shaq who probably won't show up until Season 3 or 4. #
I gave it the highest rating on Bingeworthy. It didn't get great reviews. When I finish it, I'll read some of them to see what I missed. ;-)#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
