What's the Story?
The series follows the players and technical crew of Argentina's Boca Juniors as they pursue another win in the country's Superliga. Through behind the scenes footage and intimate interviews, viewers are introduced to the players' individual struggles and how they unite to perform on the field as Argentina's most popular team.
Is It Any Good?
This slow-paced docuseries offers a distinctive take on soccer, welcoming any sports enthusiast to dive into the world of the Argentinian team and empathize with Boca's pursuit of another championship. While it's enjoyable even if you are not a soccer fan, Boca Juniors Confidential assume some familiarity with the team's story and its players -- making it a bit more challenging for newcomers. However, the show is about more than just the game. It is honest about the pressure players face, talking about the sacrifices they make and how they work hard to win. A side of soccer kids aren't used to seeing on screen. Expanding beyond players to include technical crew and the importance of fans, it could be inspiring for kids who dream of following in their footsteps.
