Welcome to Wrexham is, in a word, boring.
And let’s not forget two remote rich and famous people who seemed to have only learned the rules of the sport minutes before they purchased the team. Anything the Red Dragons accomplish is in no small part with the support of a city that loves its team. These are working athletes being paid, at best, middle-class wages.

The series makes a point of over-illustrating that these are not big-salaried footballers. The intention here is to show a real-life example of the underdog lifting itself out of its pitiful situation through sheer determination and dedication. The whole thing sounds entirely made-up, and at cursory glance, like it’s taking more than a few of its cues from Ted Lasso. Finally, it’s these two and their movie/TV star money who are going to be the saviors of this painfully low-ranking team, the Wrexham Red Dragons. Secondly, the unlikely story here is that Reynolds and McElhenney have purchased Wrexham AFC, one of the oldest football clubs in the world attached to the tiny town of Wrexham, located in the farthest reaches of Wales. But Welcome to Wrexham a whole other animal.įirst of all, it’s a docuseries, but looking at the promotional materials, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a half-hour comedy starring Hollywood marquee material, Ryan Reynolds, and Rob McElhenney, best known as the creator, actor, and star of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. When did Americans become obsessed with soccer, I mean, football? The obvious culprit here is the Apple TV+ breakout hit, the delightful and award-sweeping Ted Lasso.
