Netflix is back at it again with another foray into its sports documentary series, and the latest one focuses on Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre.
“Untold: The Fall of Favre” premiered Tuesday on the streaming service and serves its purpose. It is full of information, filled with good storytelling from the talking heads who appeared in the film, mostly from sportswriters, who covered him for his 20 NFL seasons.
The very definition of the word “untold” is inappropriate here, as those casual sports fans who don’t live and die by every game, or have a rooting interest in an athlete, certainly have heard about portions of Favre’s career on and off the field.
