That's not accurate. It painted Bill positively for sticking with Brady over Drew. The 2008 season with Cassell (an entire episode) was glowing towards Bill. The 2018 SB made Bill look like a genius.
Kraft looked bad on the Bledsoe stuff. Looked like a ***** on the Putin stuff. Looked weak af on the ending.
The only one not looking bad was Brady, but even he looked a bit weak, on how he got abused by Bill.
Is it a surprise that Bill, the biggest ******* of the 3, came out looking worse? Especially with his demeanor. He made himself look guilty as sin. Terrible look.
I'd say it did paint Belichick in a bad light based on how they handled the Hernandez and Trump storylines:
They tried to make it seem as if Belichick could have prevented the Hernandez thing which is messed up. Even then, Bill and the Pats did make an effort to relocate Hernandez to a new residence, which was conveniently left out of the Documentary.
And they only focused on Belichick for the trump saga - ignoring Kraft donating money to Trump (foundation or campaign - I forget which one). And not including Belichick's other politics - there's a reason why McCourty doesn't speak negatively of Belichick as a person - he knows Belichick's views and what he's done.
While apparently ignoring positive statements from McCourty and Harrison.
That's also not including enough of the story of spygate
I agree with you on 2008 and 2018. Saying it made Belichick look entirely bad is wrong.
Overall, as I said, Belichick was still going to always look like the bad guy - deservedly so - because he made a lot of bad decisions and a lot of them were ego-based. Anybody looking at the dynasty objectively without any strong bias would still come away with the correct conclusion that Belichick made an effort to alienate Brady and eventually push him away, and that it backfired. And ended the dynasty. (The footage showing how he treated Garopollo vs Brady was very telling.)
I just didn't like how the documentary slanted certain events when they didn't have to. The facts already speak for themselves. Skipping over things and removing certain things - It's a little scummy imo.
Just let it be that Belichick was a great defensive coordinator that bought into his own hype too much and could be a real d*ck - rather than it being that he was all that and also possibly a low character individual.
