That was largely my take away, and tbh, it wasn't some crazy leap to get there. It was fairly blatant. It was nice seeing the article Boston posted where McCourty and Harrison called it out as well. I was pretty taken aback the way it not only painted Belichick in a bad light for things we've previously heard like benching Butler; but it went as far as insinuating he's at fault for Hernandez killing Odin Lloyd. Least it felt that way to me. It felt farcical at times, miles and miles worse than the bias found in the Jordon doc lots of people got upset about. It also felt like Belichick realized what was going on, as many of his interviews came off like the Marshawn Lynch "I'm just here so I don't get fined"; which is a real shame since when he is engaged, I think BB is a captivating story teller.Pats fan all my life, beginning with the Steve Grogan era, I refuse to pay for Apple TV just to watch this. I'll catch it when it makes it's way to Netflix or wherever.I've read through a few pages and didn't see any comments on it; or it's own thread, but I'd really like to know actual Patriot fans take on it. Now that it's finished, what are the thoughts on the Apple TV documentary "The Dynasty". I'll hold my personal opinion for now as a non-fan, but suffice to say, it was not at all what I was expecting.
... but local radio hosts saying that it paints Belichick as the villain and Bob Kraft as the "good guy" glue that held it together.
After watching the whole thing, I see now why even NFL Films pulled away and tried to distance themselves from it. The whole thing was a major let down for me. I'm not even a Pats fan, and somehow they managed to turn a 20 year dynasty, one of the most impressive ever IMO, into a mostly negative thing. Very little of it was joyous or focusing on positives. Entire Super Bowls were glazed over in favor of full episodes spent on deflate gate, and Hernandez. It was more like Kraft building a case for a HOF bid for himself. I dunno, the whole thing made me pretty pissed and I was surprised I wasn't seeing more vitriol for it here. But also I forget not everyone pirates media and is able to watch content without subscribing to like 15 streaming services now. It was so bad I almost wouldn't recommend fans watch it. Not the way I'd want to be remembering the past two decades.
