Six Dreams

This energetic Spanish series, offers a look into the world of La Liga, which boasts some of the best and most competitive football teams in the world. Six Dreams highlights many of the day-to-day challenges players face, like trying to rise up in the ranks, and struggling with the inevitable (and career-ending) aging process. It also shows how coaches struggle to get their squads in shape and remain on top in order to keep their jobs. Meanwhile, Amaia Gorostiza shows how difficult, frustrating, and rewarding being the football club president of the Liga club with the smallest budget can be, especially during difficult economic times.

The combination of interviews with footage from practices and matches is entertaining, especially when it includes players and coaches from some of the more famous Spanish clubs. Viewers may also be surprised by how La Liga is structured, and the obstacles the different operatives face behind the scenes. The feelings shared by each player during the experience brings a humanity to this particular sports series. If you’re not a football fan, you probably won’t be immediately drawn to it. But if you are, Six Dreams is definitely worth the watch.
