Big Shot: Season 1

1x01 Pilot

I didn’t think I was going to even finish this first episode. The first half began with the type of dumb humor catering to older generations poking fun at younger generations for being “too sensitive”. I was originally rating the first half 3/10. But I continued on and the episode did improve some in the second half. So far it looks like this show is the trope of a coach with flaws training up a not so great and initially reluctant team to improve and grow. The team slowly appreciating the coach and the coach learning what is important in life from the team. Nothing new here, but it is a tried and true formula for decent entertainment.

I will probably watch the next episode and decide from there whether to continue. I expect they will explore the conflicts that some of the students are facing which has potential to be interesting. My concern is that the writers will play it safe and cater to too large of an audience.

i quite enjoyed this. Lot of tropes here but I think there's a lot of potential. For 1 episode a week, on a service I'm using more and more... I'll keep with it.
