If a show's objective is to make you feel emotionally attached to it, then...
I am a 50 year old male. I have been a decades long time fan of thoroughbred racing, so this show caught my eye on Netflix. I am also unemployed, so I pretty much pulled a full marathon over a couple of weeks.First, I must say I absolutely loved the 'behind-the-scenes' look at the racing industry, from the owners, to the trainers, to the jockeys, to the vets, and even the unsavory characters. Absolutely magnificent and will recommend to any thoroughbred racing fan.
I am not a prude, but I do not understand how this series can be labeled a 'family show'. Sure, it is not an R rated production, but the behavior of some of the characters leaves much to be desired, especially when they are 'the heroes' of the show. I personally think love and lust gets confused here and they made it seem like it is OK to jump from bed to bed. I'll give them a little credit to show there are some consequences to that, but still...
Spoilers Start Here - I was happy with the ending. Nice guys do not always finish last.
It is interesting how the screen writers played with my emotions. The villains ended up being not so bad at all, while the heroine was selfish, manipulative, self-centered, egotistical and an overall trouble-maker. Well, things did work out as they should had at the very end, and I guess everyone learned their lesson.
It was a good series and even though I was not happy it was over, it did end with a satisfying conclusion.
score 9/10
