This premiered last night and is quite a good watch. It covers the first couple of years of the Wanderers', with a notable focus on the culture of Western Sydney and its demonisation by the media and police. It was a little sad to watch knowing how far the A-League has drifted off course since this period during the early 2010s when it was really going from strength to strength.
