[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is some pretty good content, but Jordan had full creative control over the whole thing, so it’s not as good or insightful as it could have been given the amount of footage they had available. Last nights episodes had a bunch of filler on playoff series about which we already know the outcome and didn’t need that much prolonged coverage. [b]Also the jumping back and forth with the chronology is a little distracting/annoying. If it is supposed to be for artistic merit, I’m not really seeing the point[/b].[/quote]

I’ve heard this criticism but I disagree.  It’s a great way of showing the background—not just of Jordan but of every key player on that ‘98 team.  Look at last night’s episode, how they brought up Kukoc but went all the way back to ‘90 Draft, and then ‘92 Olympics (I had no idea how Jordan and Pippen were out to get him!) to tell his story.  It made it interesting.  How boring would it be if they went from early 80’s to 98 in a linear manner?[/quote]

No, I understand this point, but they just seem to do it randomly. Like jumping from 98 to 92 and back, when it doesn't really add much because all of those jumps were about Jordan, not adding context. I guess my critique is that it is over-deployed to the point of being a distraction, not that it should be nixed altogether.[/quote]
