Cheer -- Netflix docuseries
The stakes on the mat are high, but for these cheerleaders, the only thing more brutal than their workouts and more exceptional than their performances are the stories of adversity and triumph behind the athletes themselves.
From the team behind Last Chance U, Netflix’s new documentary series "Cheer" follows the competitive cheerleaders of the 14-time National Championship winning team at Navarro College in Corsicana, TX.
Over the course of six episodes join the team members as they face injuries, sacrifice, personal setbacks and triumphs, all leading up to one nail-biting and adrenaline pumping final competition at the National Championship.
Cheer premieres on January 8, only on Netflix.

Finished this a week or so ago. Since it's listed as Season 1 instead of Limited Series, I wonder if they're filming at Navarro or if they will pick another college. But you do tend to get attached to the team. Who can't cheer for Jerry?

Maybe they’d do the rival CC?
Jerry’s story brought the feels.

Re: Cheer -- Netflix docuseries
If anyone is really interested in cheer you should look into the politics and business model. Cheer is not NCAA recognized sport. And because of that it is less regulated. This means big money for the sanctioning bodies who run the competitions and, oh yah, conveniently sell all the clothing and costumes. It also means more injuries and less safety oversight.

Season 2 of this docuseries is out today. Obviously, not very popular here... but I thought Season 1 was pretty good. There has been a lot of drama since the last season came out... mainly the breakout star, Jerry, being arrested for child sex abuse crimes.
