Beautifully composed and edited together, the program serves as religious text for those who still exalt at the shrine of his Airness. Moreover, for fans who watched the incredible and nearly unparalleled run of success this franchise experienced during the 1990’s, The Last Dance is a pulsating celebration of greatness.
At 10 parts, it's a very, very deep dive, but for fans who will eat this stuff up, it hits all the right notes.

An in depth look at what it took to become the G.O.A.T. This top tier docu-series's editing is as good as it gets, as we witness never seen before footage of his Airness.
Report
“The Last Dance” isn’t necessarily an evidence-gathering operation, but as the series goes on, the input from teammates, coaches, and members of the Jordan inner circle all seem to ask whether the outcome of June 1998 was worth all the turmoil. For many viewers lifted by the way “The Last Dance” captures the sweep of history, the likely answer will be “yes.”
At a time when ESPN and other outlets are struggling to fill the sport-less void, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic’s disruption of, well, everything, The Last Dance is exactly what fans need...It’s both a perfect diversion and a tribute to shared sacrifice.
If anything each episode left me wanting more. Not only were the Bulls a team for the ages, they also gave us a sports soap opera for the ages.
The limited series is as complete a portrait of Michael Jordan's extraordinary basketball career as fans will ever get. It's a Citizen Kane-like biography of Jordan's relentless pursuit of greatness at all costs.
Hehir has this trick where any time someone says something debatable or controversial or simply worthy of running by Jordan, he hands him an iPad and makes him watch what was said. And every time Hehir does it, Jordan turns the reaction into gold. He’s an incredulous Zeus in these moments, lightning bolts falling from his toga as he laughs, zapping lesser gods.
The Last Dance offers an intriguing insight into the "win-at-all-costs"-mentality of Michael Jordan. The director managed to walk the fine line between showing MJ's humanity and good qualities as well as his darker sides. Must-watch-TV for every sports fan and whoever is interested in the psychological aspects of professional sports.

MJ, The GOAT, period.... what a mentality!... almost 36 years old... I remember those years... Such a perfect documentary.
Report
La serie, aunque bien rodada, apenas toca el tema deportivo. Imagino que está orientada al gran público, pero se hace escaso para los seguidores de baloncesto. Se centra en los detalles extradeportivos para contarnos cómo se formó y se forjó uno de los mejores equipos de todos los tiempos. Al menos, el más dominante de la década de los noventa.
Sobre Michael Jordan, nos propone el debate de si se puede ganar a cualquier precio. Es decir, despreciando al rival y humillando a tus compañeros hasta que alcancen la meta: ganar. ¿Habrían conseguido estos Bulls hasta seis anillos sin esa manera de hacer las cosas?
