I had never watched Hard Knocks until last year with the Cowboys and in-season with the Colts. Love this series! I saw a behind-the-scenes video that showed a producer explaining that they hope to introduce you to your new second favorite team. That is exactly the vibe I get after watching each season. The camera work in-game in-season is incredible, and I love the human interest stories on every team they're able to capture. Makes you appreciate how hard these modern day gladiators have to work to make and stay on a team. And a shout-out to the composer of the theme song; I could listen to the Hard Knocks theme on repeat all day.

Decades in the waiting.

As an avid Hard Knocks enthusiast since it's inception, I can say this. The content is subpar to previous seasons to say the least. Liev Schriever who makes the show so compelling is almost nonexistent in the new season. Also, I have a hearing deficit. The subtitles that HBO are presenting don't match the the actual sound of the voices. In an attempt to lure NFL fans to the most exciting aspects of this season of Detroit Lions football, the series has focused solely on the coaching staff. There is and never will be a coach who makes up for an entire team's efforts. HBO should reconsider their approach next season if they want to keep Hard Knocks on the right Tracy. Footage of a player retuning his juggling skills didn't make any story interesting.
