Last Chance U Season 1 is a great documentary that follows the everyday life of college football players. The documentary goes in depth with graduating seniors who have the potential to go to a Division 1 college. The whole series is full of suspense between making grades to graduate and winning the national championship for the 5th time in a row. The cinematography is amazing. They catch all of the players and coaches’ feelings on and off the field. The crew did an amazing job at making every single game feel like it was a do or die situation. The documentary not only followed the athletes but the coaches and counselors and all of their emotions towards how they are feeling before every game. I thought they did a great job at showing the behind the scenes of being a student-athlete. They showed how hard the counselor works just to make sure everybody graduates on time with the proper grades to get in the school they want to do too.  There is a lot of cussing from both the athletes and coaches because football is a physical sport and they all get angry during every game because it’s impossible to have a perfect game. They did a good job at showing what player was doing during an actual game by putting the sports commentator recording over the game which helped add suspense. During the last couple of games, the head coach became very disgruntled because he thought this group of boys was going to be the best he ever coached and he said things that was very disrespectful to all the players. I can’t imagine what they cut out because what they left in made the head coach look horrible.  Over all the documentary was very inspiring it showed what every athlete has to overcome mentally and physically. I would give Last Chance U a 9 out of 10 because it was an amazing documentary that showed the real life of coaches and athletes but there was a lot of cussing and the filming was done in the same three places.
