Untold: The Murder of Air McNair

While I understand Steve Mcnair's career as a footballer and the US having such an intense relationship with the game and its players, I found it to be extreme and excessive in terms of how much football is in this show. This is supposed to be a documentary that covers Steve McNair as a person who was killed. Football is just a part of who he was. But this whole documentary reduces him to a player in a team sport, it focuses on the team as a whole, the game, the moves, and about a hundred too many clips. We even start the first episode with way too much information on the backstory of the coach's career - why??

I know very little about who he was, the sort of person he aimed to be, the kind of father he was, did he volunteer in the community, did he donate to charity, did he have a favourite pastime, who was this man outside of "a great arm" and "ghetto fabulous" (this was seriously said by a commentator about McNair and his new team uniform, GHETTO FABULOUS, I damn well choked on my chicken wings).

There is little to nothing regarding the investigation, forensics, suspects, his abandoned family that he left for a "barely legal" child (this documentary did nothing for his image outside of football).

This felt like a poorly done introductory episode to a series that fell flat. Terrible work, don't waste your time.

I hope the victims are offered better coverage in another documentary sometime in the future. This was a slap in the faces to them both.

1/10.
