This is an 8 part documentary on the Cowboys, and it is very interesting, even if you are not a Cowboys fan. I didn't know what to expect from an 8 hour documentary on this team, but it exceeded my expectations in the way it was produced. After a bit of a slow start, it never lost my attention throughout.

I won't break down the documentary by content, other than to say that while most of the doc. is flattering of Jones, he does not look good when it gets to him firing Jimmy Johnson, as there is no way to make his decision look good. This was my favorite part of the documentary. Former players, former coaches (including Switzer, who was the opposite of Johnson in coaching style, which may have ruined a dynasty) sports writers, etc. are also interviewed. All the old, on field footage is great to see. This was the best sports doc. I've watched since The Last Dance.
