The Times did a piece: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/naive-owners-fancy-titles-and-bad-maths-what-to-expect-from-series-two-of-sunderland-til-i-die-n3c5tcfzq (paywall)
Wembley again “It’s good you want to keep the football club but maybe your family don’t,” [owner Stewart] Donald’s partner, Lora Clarke, reveals she told him on the eve of the play-offs. The final against Charlton is game 61 of a marathon season and the wheels have fallen well off by then. Donald looks exhausted by everything. Methven’s anger towards Ross is relentless and the supporters’ mood has reversed. Charlton win in the 94th minute.

Unlikely to be any Charlton content.

Watching for the first time ahead of S2
Really do love Jonny Williams even more after seeing him so far (Up to Ep6) - Can see why he loves it here as you'd expect him to see Bowyer in that Coleman / McCarthy role that he mentions about trust etc.
Made me smile when it was Matthews who greeted him when he first arrived in training - Wonder if the roles were reversed when Matthews arrived at Sparrows Lane0 -
Finished series 1 at the weekend, well made documentary and as others have said very insightful.The whole part focusing on Jonny Williams was obviously interesting for us, but I also found it enlightening to see the wider look at mental health on players. I guess it’s easy for us to only look at the physical side of players sometimes, and forget they may need help on psychological side.Looking forward to series 2, not just for us featuring, but seeing more how the behind the scenes works for a club in freefall.9

How will Netflix release this, all episodes in one go or one a week?0

I imagine they will put out the whole series tomorrow. Hope so; I'll be done by Thursday. No cheating to see how it ends.2

Do we watch the last episode first then start from the beginning, watch them all from the beginning in one go or watch one a day, savouring the experience?0
-
Just watch the last episode over and over0

First episode we lose last min. And took me 7.5 hours to get there!

Charlie Methven is David Brent - talks in cliches. An utter tosser.12

straight to last episode - saw my flag
sunderland didnt think they deserved to lose that way - they created nothing and we scored there goal for them.3 -
To be fair, no-one deserves to lose like that. It was one of the greatest moments in sport of my life, but I can't imagine what it must be like to be on the other end of it, having traveled all that way down to be in attendance. I'm fuming when we concede a last minute equaliser against Huddersfield on a Tuesday night and I'm sat on my sofa, I probably still wouldn't have recovered if we'd been on the receiving end of thispalarsehater said:straight to last episode - saw my flag

Not to mention it was their second Wembley defeat of the season.Garrymanilow said:

All that way to lose one final on penalties and the other in the 94th minute.16 -

Did like the look on his face when he was chatting about the entrance music and got told that the PA system needed updating regardless6 -
I get that the reason this got made is because the producers are Sunderland fans so it was easy to pitch to Netflix, but I think whats happened at Charlton over the last couple of years, (and probably since 2007!) would make for a far more entertaining docu. Not just for Charlton fans but football fans in general.
Sundland got double relegated and got sold a couple of times, thats not that unusual these days?6 -
Mentioned this before, we met a Sunderland fan outside (he was borderline paralytic) afterwards who told us it was the 13th (think that was the number) game at Wembley that he’d watched Sunderland in and they’d lost them all. Imagine how that must feel!Garrymanilow said:

But they didn’t know the double relegation and multiple sales was going to happen when they pitched the idea to Netflix.CAFCTrev said:I get that the reason this got made is because the producers are Sunderland fans so it was easy to pitch to Netflix, but I think whats happened at Charlton over the last couple of years, (and probably since 2007!) would make for a far more entertaining docu.

I suppose if you look at the situation when season one was commissioned then I imagine it was sold to Netflix as a completely different propositionCAFCTrev said:I get that the reason this got made is because the producers are Sunderland fans so it was easy to pitch to Netflix, but I think whats happened at Charlton over the last couple of years, (and probably since 2007!) would make for a far more entertaining docu.

Sunderland would have been a typical Premier League club and bet they thought they'd be filming a Premier League season, instead they turned into a Championship side with Netflix still thinking: "Great its going to be a season challenging for promotion", instead it probably worked out better for them that Sunderland got into trouble because it allowed them to show a Football club at the complete opposite end of the spectrum to the Man City / Amazon documentary
Of course last season they must have thought that Sunderland would be sure to be in a promotion fight (which they were) and almost got their fairytale ending only for it to end in disaster again
Bet that was a factor behind there being no season three for this year as they've not been filming yet it appears its not something that has been completely cancelled as the producers hope to have a successful ending
As I said to my Dad last night on the phone, this is the trouble with these Documentaries, they can have all the hopes in the world but Football is without doubt no script!! - In a way you have to look at Charlton in a normal season, yes we've had our troubles which are obvious to see but each summer its not obvious that they'll happen (we certainly didnt see this mess happening back in August), take that away and we're pretty much the same as Sunderland e.g. a bang average team each with our own troubles... Sunderland just got lucky with the timing of their issues.
The Fleetwood documentary would be interesting to watch (if it gets released) as their season was pretty uneventful, but then again, everyone would watch simply because of the Joey Barton incident @ Barnsley1
