6 d. ago Necaxa review – Eva Longoria’s attempt at recreating Welcome to Wrexham is just painful

The Desperate Housewives star has invested in a Mexican football team, and even ropes in Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in her attempts to make a thrilling documentary. But it’s extremely hard to care about any of itWelcome to Wrexham is one of those TV shows that has moved its genre up a level. After years of glossy “behind-the-scenes” documentaries that were just another part of million-dollar sports franchises’ marketing portfolios, the story of unlikely celebrity investors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney taking the extremely unlikely decision to buy AFC Wrexham was an unexpected tonic and a worldwide hit.Inevitably, imitations are now spawning, with Amazon last month debuting the underwhelming Built in Birmingham, about NFL superstar Tom Brady’s half-hearted involvement in Birmingham City.

Barack Obama had just entered the White House, Hank was a younger man with an exciting adventure ahead of him and all was, if not quite well with the world, certainly at least explicable. But now? Season 14 of this revived, beloved animated sitcom is upon us, feeling anachronistic yet also oddly timely. It’s like reconnecting with a group of old friends and realising that, while they are much as they always were, the context in which you now see them has altered beyond all recognition.Playing slightly against cartoon convention, the Hills’ lives have moved on.
