A Winning Team (2023 TV Movie)
3/10
Trend of extreme characters continues
24 June 2023
I had to turn this off halfway through. Hallmark's extreme characters are really starting to grate my nerves and I don't know why this keeps happening. When Nadia Hatta is suspended from a professional soccer team, she goes home and bumps into Kristopher Polaha. He sprains his ankle and she steps in to help him coach his girls soccer team. Hilarity and romance should ensue, but mostly I just got irritated at the premise of everyone bashing a professional athlete who cared about winning and a coach who didn't. I mean if Nadia doesn't win, she doesn't get paid and the girls seemed to want to win, but Kristopher didn't care about this at all. He seemed to just want to have them walk on blocks and not try to win at all even though the girls wanted it. Frankly, I understood her yelling at him and I wished some psycho parent would have joined in. I also wouldn't have minded if someone took him to a salon-I don't think that was Polaha's hair and it was distracting. Hallmark, I'm begging you-stop doing this to Polaha and don't ever write a script about girls being told winning isn't important again, because it IS.
