Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
MCGREGOR FOREVER is a docuseries about Irish UFC superstar Conor McGregor as he fights his way back from potentially career ending injuries, mental setbacks, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Is It Any Good?
A story of unwavering perseverance and passion, a plumber's apprentice from humble beginnings ascends to become one of the world's most recognizable athletes. Mere minutes into the McGregor Forever docuseries, Conor McGregor's infectious personality makes it clear he was born to be in the spotlight. In fact, it's easy to imagine Taron Egerton portraying him on the big screen one day (after packing on about 50 pounds of muscle). Nevertheless, the superstar is surprisingly relatable as he struggles with mental and physical setbacks while maintaining a genuine gratefulness for his life. Watching him learn life lessons about positivity, giving back, and gratitude makes riveting television for anyone who can stomach the bloodshed.
