Unforgettable moments everyone has been eagerly awaiting is now here, with episodes 3 and 4 of the ESPN Series airing at 7 PM ET tonight. After the announcement, the social media platform went ablaze. The announcement was accompanied by a very striking image of Consuelos on a red scooter that completely captures the excitement of an owner-team member he communicates in the show. In the background, a woman awaits the series’ logo flag at the top of a soccer stadium absolutely full and a very blurry castle farther in the background.

The series, which follows Consuelos and his wife, Kelly Ripa, through their adventures in the crazy world of soccer team ownership, has already been hugely praised. And the first two episodes blew audiences away, and now everybody is anxious to binge-watch the rest. Comments poured in praising the chemistry between the couple, with one commenting almost jokingly that Ripa could remind them of themselves while watching sports. “My husband says Kelly acts like I do at a college football game,” another wrote. “It was a bit familiar to me. We are enjoying watching it together.”
Canadian fans seem to be feeling left out, however, and their tweets are full of desperate pleas for access. “Fellow Canadians! How/where do I watch without a VPN?!” asked one, while another was lamenting, “Apparently, not available in Canada.” The struggle is real internationally, some even recommending that ESPN needs to expand its coverage.
Others talked about how heartwarming the doc is. “Such a feel-good, people-lifting documentary,” remarked one, while another fanlahged about how inspiring it is to watch the couple with the balance of team ownership and personal life. Talks have already started for a possible sequel, with several asking for more episodes.
And, naturally, not all the reviews have been glowing. One other (BINGE-able) viewer-articulated a very specific complaint: “PLEASE SLOW DOWN THE CAPTIONS! I CAN’T READ THEM FAST ENOUGH!!” A very legitimate complaint in this era of binge-watching.
The above-mentioned small hiccups notwithstanding, the show comes strongly recommended from everyone. There isn’t a shadow of doubt that the fans do want to follow the couple’s exploits both on and off the field. And when Consuelos start teasing dropping some property in Italy (cue envy), looks like there’s a long road ahead for this soccer caper.

Such a request, please keep an eye on those captions-they are apparently fast!
