Court of Gold — 3.5/5
This is a small thing, and a mostly foregone conclusion, but the show is just a nice hagiography on people who love their country, and the game of basketball. I don't know if I loved the series as much as I just like everyone in it more than I did going in. Hard-ass shit-talker Kevin Durant crying about how much basketball means to him reshapes him entirely in my mind. But it's that "mostly foregone conclusion" that makes for interesting television. The series serves as a signal that the world's caught up; this feels like a final hurrah not just for aging basketball players, but for America on this particular stage. It gets harder from here.
