Matador

The star forward who played for the English national team... Ouch... Terrible English accent... Nobody who has ever played for England has ever spoken like that!

I can see why it wasn't renewed for a second series as a result of poor international ratings / viewing figures..... Football just isn't like that in Europe, for a European audience, it's just wrong in so many ways, something just doesn't ring true about it. So, watching the football part is just a bit annoying, which is a shame as it detracts from what is actually a decent format... Perhaps if it was American football themed it may have worked and appealed to a European audience. 'Soccer' in America is seen as a bit of a joke to Europeans.

The acting is good, the format is okay, the comedic tongue in cheek script is fun and engaging... It's just let down by what America thinks 'soccer' is all about.
