Binge Last Chance U
Binge Last Chance U – is a Netflix original series follows college football teams that aren’t major programs and don’t get much national attention.
After a couple seasons of profiling recruits at East Mississippi Community College, which has won several NJCAA national titles, the reality series shifts its focus to Independence Community College.
The Kansas school doesn’t have the same type of gridiron pedigree as EMCC — it’s trying to rebound from more than a decade of losses — but the players are dealing with many of the same challenges that the EMCC squad faced — both on and off the field.
Binge Last Chance U
The first two seasons of Last Chance U focus on all aspects of the football program at East Mississippi Community College, one of the most successful JUCO programs in the country.
Major themes include the academic struggles of the players – some of whom have come from severely disadvantaged backgrounds.
This is set against an overall redemption and coming-of-age “last chance” theme for the group of men struggling to find their place.
Team academic advisor Brittany Wagner is featured prominently as she is tasked with getting all team members to graduate on time.
Head coach Buddy Stephens‘ struggles with controlling his temper is also a major theme, which is often juxtaposed with his devout Christian faith that he attempts to impart on the team.
