Well I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. I'm maybe midway through the Laney season? I'm in the middle of the episode where they are diving into RJ's messed up upbringing.
Some highlights of this season:
*Less drama than all the prior seasons, sort of refreshing not to wade through all that bullshit dumbassery on an episode to episode basis. Probably why this season doesn't feature "that one lady" that basically babysits all these kids through their college curriculum. I've seen glimpses of Sakai Metcalf (I think thats her name) but she hasn't been very hands on with the kids so not sure she has the same sort of job. Seems more like a secretary for their athletic department than anything.
*A lot more detail into the human element (as pointed out by @Wild Turkey) and making us care for each player. Makes more sense to go this route given how these players aren't on scholarships & they are scraping together a living to make ends meet.
*John Beam is a helluva coach. Easily the most likable coach we've seen so far.
*Dior is such an easy kid to root for. Kids like him deserve better recognition.
