The series takes after one of the old football teams at England, Sunderland. In particular, the series follows the relegation season 2017-18 at the Championship and the enthusiasm of its fans whatever the conditions.
Maybe the best thing 'Til I Die does is center the experience of people who love a club whose modern history has been largely defined by crisis, dysfunction, and imminent misery.
Not a panegyric to a first-rate ball team, nor a Cinderella story in glass cleats. It is an intimate, knowing look at the internal workings of a sports organization and a critique of both managerial style and the politics of sports entertainment.
This immersive, involving series is lovingly made by production company Fulwell 43 - life-long Sunderland fans themselves - but across eight episodes, some of its stylistic touches begin to grate.
