Detroit Lions' debut on HBO's 'Hard Knocks' was disappointing infomercial fluff, writes cmonarrez
After one episode, the only thing the"Hard Knocks" production army has on the Lions' video team is a much larger crew, those super slow-motion shots of players in action with accompanying dramatic music and narrator Liev Schreiber channeling John Facenda.
My main gripe with the show was the decision to spend so much time on head coach Dan Campbell taking part in up-downs with players. I hate doing math, but I went the extra mile for y'all and counted up all the time. The show's run time, when you deduct the 40-second intro, is 44 minutes, 37 seconds. Exactly 3 minutes were spent showing Campbell doing 40 up-downs and then talking about it. That means nearly 7% of the show was devoted to showing a coach jumping up and down.
