BMS 4 life I have to admit, I didn't even know this existed - then I saw this on my streaming provider and ... well actually I saw the movie first. Literally - I saw it on there and I watched that first and then I realized there is more where that came from. Actually the movie made me think that the show would be all about Chad - which is not entirely true.
The actor playing him though is making quite the rounds - being the star of his own show now - Reacher. And while this is quite ridiculous and over the top, the character he plays is ... well not the brightest, let's put it that way. But to play him the way he is supposed to be played. You need someone who can actually pull it off. Someone like Chad, could not play anything else. He could only do Chad - but this guy right here, he is good. He is really good.
Having said that, I am still quite surprised by the rating this has received. It is a comedy, one that is quite sexual (though nothing explicit is shown, even during certain acts, people are clothed and/or covered) and one that is about football. American football that is - which might be one of the reasons this is so popular. I reckon that quite a few people either recognize themselves in this or wish they could (re)live the things happening here. Maybe not all of them ... but surely the good parts.
While the bar is low and the humor is really ... well not high class, the show somehow works. And even though it is more about the good looking cast and their relationships (as feable and short lived as many of them are), the show does end on a high football note of sorts. Which is almost surprising considering that seemed to be just an excuse to have certain characters being thrown in. Not too many nerds though and quite literally no ugly people! Especially when it comes to the female side of things ... still even there you have some strong roles and characters amongst the shallow ones (of course the latter are represented in a larger quantity - don't laugh I didn't even think about this being a pun. And if you don't know why I said that, bless you, you innocent creature).
39 episodes and a movie later (which i have rated and reviewed elsewhere), I think it is safe to say, this did leave a mark ... for better or worse. Because political correctness is out the window - do not even dream of wokeness in this one.
