Netflix TDF documentary

[FishFright]

Could be a double-edged sword. Taking the F1 Drive to Survive experience it has certainly increased awareness and interest in the sport, but there is an undercurrent of F1 snobs who deride anybody new to the sport as a "Drive to Survivor", a term used to suggest someone who only knows what Netflix has told them, which is often slated as being deliberately sensationalist and provides a narrative that is more fiction than fact.

I'll be watching it though, as I do DTS.

Drive to Survive is hilariously bad though.

Episode 2 isn’t making me warm to Vingegaard!

Just finished episode 4, and I'm loving it.

Its a bit like a highlights show of the tour that was already fresh in the memory, but its good getting a peek behind the curtains. Some fascinating insights as well.

Watched the first 2 episodes yesterday evening. An entertaining watch.

i want to see it but as i have disney and prime im not forking out for another service .

I don’t think it’s as good as I wanted it to be but the new footage is incredible and it’s made me realise more quite how much is at stake for the riders when they win or lose! And the footage of Pidcock’s descent of Alpe d’Huez was AMAZING!!

The crash footage was ace. Sorry been in some stacks in my life and it's part of the ride. Not for MrsF eyes.

Just watched the first episode and mostly enjoyed it.
Worst thing was the fake commentator on the racing scenes.

Loved the first episode.
Considering not watching the Tour this year and just waiting for the Netflix series next year so I can enjoy it unspoilt.

Another cycling documentary on Netflix well worth watching is Movistar's Least Expected Day

 

[Cathryn]

I finished it today and very much enjoyed it although not as much as I thought I would. Some of the new footage was brilliant and it definitely made me appreciate more quite how tough the race is and how much hangs on results. It suffered for the lack of access to Pog.

 

[Slick]

Still got 2 to go, so looking forward to it. Should get a chance this week to finish it.

I've just binged it and that was the thing that grated.

Other than that it was enjoyable and I'm not sure what anyone who was disappointed wanted from it.

Some interesting team dynamics exposed.
