Almost finished with the series, two more episodes to go. Subject matter might not be everybody's cup of tea but an extremely well done show.
I agree. Structurally it's the classic underdog sports movie that's been done by everything from Rocky to the Karate Kid. BUT it's so well done that it manages to transcend that and become an enjoyable drama. The clothes, the cars, the music and the manners are all pure 60s. Her backstory is dramatic and her struggle to become a functioning adult is compelling. Very watchable.
