The Last Dance 1.01

Episode I

This 10-episode series focuses on the Bulls last run at the NBA championship while Michael Jordan was still on the team. This episode sets up the premise of the series. It includes a spotlight of Jerry Krause, who was the General Manager of the Bulls from 1985 to 2003. There is brief look at a preseason exhibition event in Paris, France before the 1997-98 season began. The episode also flashes back for a look at Michael Jordan's college basketball career at North Carolina and his first year with the Bulls.

This is a highlight reel. It is not an in depth story. There is too many things going on and the focus is too scattered for this to be a comprehensive study. It was interesting to watch, I will very likely continue to watch but honestly I prefer to watch a single game or a more focused look at a single person, whether that be the star of the team or one of the supporting cast.
