You know, I heard folks talking ’bout that “Welcome to Wrexham” show. Sounds fancy, huh? I ain’t got that fancy television, but my neighbor, she got it. She keeps tellin’ me ’bout it. Says it’s ’bout some football club. Not our kind of football, the kind they play across the big water. Anyways, got me thinkin’, are there other shows like Welcome to Wrexham?
She said this one, “Welcome to Wrexham”, you can see it on somethin’ called “Disney+”. Sounds like a cartoon, right? But she says it ain’t. It’s ’bout real folks, these rich fellas buyin’ a football team. I hear it’s real popular. I don’t understand half of what’s going on, but it sounds like a real life drama. She told me it was on Disney+ but I told her I ain’t paying for no more channels, I got enough trouble figuring out the remote as it is. They make these things too complicated these days!
Now, I remember another one, somethin’ ’bout “Sunderland.” “Sunderland ‘Til I Die,” that’s what it was called. Heard it was a good one too. That’s another one of them football shows. Seems like folks like watchin’ these teams struggle and win, or lose, I guess. Just like real life, huh? Some days you’re up, some days you’re down. That’s what makes these shows like Welcome to Wrexham so interestin’, I reckon. It’s like watchin’ a real-life story unfold, ‘cept it’s ’bout a bunch of fellas kickin’ a ball around.
My neighbor, she’s got all them fancy things – “Netflix,” “iTunes,” “Amazon.” Says you can find all kinds of shows on them things. She told me there are lots of other shows like Welcome to Wrexham. She’s always watchin’ somethin’. She even showed me this list one time. A whole bunch of shows just like “Welcome to Wrexham”. I don’t know how she keeps them all straight!
- That “Sunderland” one, “Sunderland ‘Til I Die.”
- I think there was one about racing cars too, but I can’t recall the name.
- She mentioned something about a basketball team as well, but my memory’s not what it used to be.
She was goin’ on and on about how these shows are all “similar in style and tone” to “Welcome to Wrexham.” Whatever that means. I guess it just means they’re all ’bout real people and real teams, not that made-up stuff. And they’re all about the struggles and the wins, just like I said. Makes sense, I guess. People like watchin’ that kind of thing.
I tell ya, back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy shows. We had, well, we had the radio. And we had each other. We’d sit around and tell stories. Real stories, ’bout real people. Now, these shows like Welcome to Wrexham, they’re kinda like that, I suppose. Just a new-fangled way of tellin’ stories. Still, it’s interestin’ to see how things change. Now you got all these ways to watch these stories, right there on your TV. It’s a different world, that’s for sure.
My neighbor, bless her heart, she tried to get me to watch some other shows. She showed me a list as long as my arm! Said I’d like ’em. I don’t know ’bout that, some of ’em sound a little too…intense for me. She said if you like shows like Welcome to Wrexham, you like other shows about real people.
One was called “Breaking Bad.” Sounded like trouble to me. Somethin’ ’bout a fella gettin’ into no good. Then there was “Better Call Saul.” Another one with a name that don’t make no sense. These new shows, I tell ya. She said it was about a lawyer. I told her I didn’t need to watch no show about lawyers, I got enough trouble with them in real life! Ha!
Then she went on about somethin’ called “Hannibal.” Sounded like a scary movie. And “Scream” and “Slasher”? Goodness, no. I don’t need that kind of fright in my life. I told her, “Honey, I’ve seen enough scary things in my life, I don’t need to watch ’em on TV too!”
There was “Dexter,” “House M.D,” “GoT” – whatever that is – “The Last Kingdom” which sounded a bit historical, maybe I’d like that, and then, somethin’ called “You”. She said I should watch it, but I said, “Me, what?”. Then she told me it was just the show’s name. Then somethin’ called a “Santa Clarita Diet”. Sounded like a diet plan from California. They sure come up with strange names for these shows. I don’t know about these shows like Welcome to Wrexham, some of them sound downright peculiar.
Anyways, I reckon if you like that “Welcome to Wrexham” show, you might like some of these others. They’re all ’bout real folks, dealin’ with real life, just like that football show. Just remember, there’s a whole lot of shows out there, more than you can shake a stick at. Just gotta find the ones you like, I guess. And if you can’t figure it out, just ask your neighbor. They probably know. They always seem to know ’bout these things. The TV these days, Lord, it’s somethin’ else. So many shows like Welcome to Wrexham, so little time.
