Personally, the story of "The Rock" isn't very interesting to me as there's a slew of articles, docus, etc about him or generated by him all the time. But it was interesting to see the portrayal of other players, family and friends around him and even some self-criticism, which many don't associate with Mr. Johnson.
I particularly enjoyed the influence and humor of his Indigenous Pacifika family and friends, and his grandmother was quite the character. Her and her "henchman" is the stuff of legend indeed.
I remember watching wrestling with my grandmother, who was a big fan, so I got the references and presence of many of the old WWF (and other leagues) who had actor cameos in this series. Having recently watched the "Andre" documentary on Andre of the Giant, and being a wistful fan, I really, really enjoyed how he was presented, too. A real gem.
The setting is maybe a tongue in cheek reference to the calls for Mr. Johnson to run for the Presidency or some other office in real life, with Randall Park as a fictional eager journalist following the imaginary journey to the polls. A rating of "7" is maybe a stretch but with the background performances, and many little funny or poignant moments during "flashbacks" made it a fun watch thus far.
