Has anyone binged this yet?
With the NCAA game lost to the ether, Last Chance U has been my "start" of the College Football season for now four seasons.
IMO, Season 4 is the best yet.
Not a major spoiler...but Independence CC had an absolute blood bath of a season in 2018 and the result was incredible television. Because the season stunk so bad, it took the focus away from the linear game-to-game narrative previous seasons had and they really focused on some of the larger socio-economic issues of small town America, local politics, the college football and greater JUCO system. I really thought this year's topics were able to be fleshed out a little deeper than in previous seasons and it was much better for it.
Also, the human interest element (check out Mr. Main -- surely the titular character for Springsteen's THE RIVER) is as good as its ever been.
Quite a few South Florida kids on the team...none of them are highlighted, and you'd have to bust out a magnifying glass to ever see them on film...but of note...
QB Antoine Wright (former South Miami Cobra - brother of Khaya Wright 3* DE for '20) -- you'll see him a bit here and there.
CB Dontye Carriere-Williams...you never see him, he barely played.
CB Kion Holder from Norland
WR Roy Livingstone from Northwestern

Also quite a few high end JUCO transfers from the 2019 cycle are on the show, but none really highlighted. #1 JUCO prospect Jermaine Johnson (Georgia), LB Kuony Deng (Cal), QB Jay Jones (former GaTech commit), Malik Henry (still a worthless bozo) among others.
Go check it out and lets talk about it in this very thread.
