I wasn't at all familiar with Colin Kaepernick and this semi-fictionalized docu-drama is earnest, fascinating and quite structurally uneven. Kaepernick appears as himself and presents his past as an education for the viewer, and a prism through which to see contemporary race tensions in American society. Parker and Offerman do a solid job as his well-meaning but often out-of-their-depth parents. The more the series leans out of his experiences with race and into his desperation to become a quarterback the less compelling it is because... spoilers... but quarterback Colin Kaepernick is a quarterback. Although I'm surprised reading his wiki that there's not much mention of his faith here, or his tortoise. Give me Sammy spin-off.
