Catching Hell (ESPN doc)
One of the most anticipated programs out of ESPN’s doc-machine…feels like a miss. The heart-tugging sympathy for die-hard Cubs fan “Bartman” is certainly a good building block, but the story still seems unfinished. No access to Bartman feels like Jaws without the shark. No explanation for how his friends abandoned him at his moment of need? The square-peg-round-circle force-feeding of Red Sox history is the filmmakers biggest mistake. Still worth a watch as some new perspectives, facts come to light, but…ESPN docs have set the bar high, and this one sailed under it.
