I think it would've been more interesting to be a series about the NBA of the 80s rather than a biopic of Jerry Buss and Magic Johnson, there's just not enough gas in this particular tank.

Yeah, i feel like Buss and Magic are the least interesting characters in the show right now but they get almost all the screentime and script.

Doesn't surprise me that much, given how much production is in this one. And honestly, they didn't have two seasons of material unless they were going to go into new characters, possibly, y'know, not Lakers, but all we got was a little bit of Larry Bird.

Honestly, if Buss was a side character and McKay had any sense of economy in storytelling, I think he could've gotten the whole dynasty done in 12 episodes, and it would absolutely be better than what we got. I'm just not that interested in the Buss drama, it feels like trying to foreshadow a twist but it's not a twist. I would've loved to see the Vlade Divac story myself.

toggle posted:The Buss scenes stopped all momentum in every episode. I ended up skipping through those scenes because it’s just not interesting. Shame it’s cancelled though. I find it hilarious that the trade for Mitch Kupchak gets lots of screentime but not the one for Bob McAdoo.

muscles like this! posted:The Honey stuff being all made up (or just extremely loosely based on reality) made its inclusion just pointless. I think it mostly has to do with the production staff just not being interested in basketball- like actually going into what happened during the series, which was imo the best part of the season. So, they write some stuff for the Busses, because that, and Magic drama is way more in their wheelhouse. But I don't think you can do this show if basketball is of little interest to you in any kind of detail. Not for more than a season, especially.
