A-
This franchise remains invigorating, though, matching no-look-pass thrills with telling little moments. Go to Full Review Jack Seale Guardian 03/10/2021
4/5
It is here that the intimacy and intensity of basketball - with nowhere to hide on that small court, or in a tightly woven squad of 16 players - brings this season of Last Chance U to an emotional pitch that the show has not always been able to hit. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 03/10/2021
The question is no longer whether Last Chance U is adaptable for new colleges or new sports, but rather how many places the producers want to go. Baseball? Women's soccer? Bring it on. Go to Full Review Soham Gadre Film Inquiry 05/06/2021
This season of Last Chance U brought drama and mixed social messaging alongside the lives of its student-athletes hoping to achieve their goals, but what was added here was a much more collective and philosophical approach to the series. Go to Full Review Marina Gordon Common Sense Media 03/25/2021

Terry H 02/02/2024 Emotional, compelling watch. Well worth the time. See more JF H 09/03/2022 Coach Mosley is such a great person. Everyone in this program is there with a lot of heart and passion. Great to watch even if you're not into basketball. See more 10/16/2021 Joe Hampton throws tantrum like a 5 year old and quits the team every episode. It was unbearable. See more 04/05/2021 LCU's switch to junior college basketball opens up new avenues of exploration for the series, and the series benefits from the grungier settings and backstories of the respective athletes portrayed. I surely miss the pageantry of small town, southern football, but LCU: Basketball is well worth the viewing. See more 03/26/2021 This show has such a good story. Raw footage througout and shows what's its like for the players and coaches. Devastated at the end for them tho. But a very good show overall See more 03/19/2021 Hay que contar con suerte para encontrar historias así, tener experiencia y olfato para dar con personajes de esa talla, pero también hay que contar con mucho talento para narrar la historia de la forma en que se hizo y dejar a los protagonistas contar su historia logrando el equilibrio entre tantas líneas. El final le da el toque especial de realidad al ser afectado por la COVID. Muy buena docuserie. See more Read all reviews
