If you like a good sports documentary--thanks for your patience, "Drive to Survive" fans--Netflix's latest hit may be worth your time. The new series just hit the streaming service last week and follows the journeys of three different NFL quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota.

Quarterback may be a documentary, but it's full of drama and action, and as of this morning, it's already in the top spot. Critics and viewers alike have been favorable to the show, with Rotten Tomatoes giving the first season ratings of 83% each.

So is "Quarterback" just for NFL fans? Or could this new show be part of Netflix's list of best shows? Let's discuss whether you need to stream or skip "Quarterback" on Netflix.

Quarterback follows three quarterbacks through the 2022 NFL season at three different points in their NFL journey. The star of the show is Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who at this point has already won a Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP, and NFL MVP. He is the best player in the league at this position.

But Mahomes is not the only quarterback featured in a Netflix documentary produced by Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning. There is also Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback Kirk Cousins. But being good is not enough, either for Cousins or for the NFL.

And rounding out the trio of passers is Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback Marcus Mariota. Mariota won the Heisman Award as an elite quarterback out of college, but has since become a backup and journeyman. This season may be his last chance to become an NFL starter again.

"Quarterback" will follow these three on and off the field, giving viewers insight and access to their personal lives, practices, and of course, the game. Can Mahomes win another Super Bowl? Can Cousins make the leap to greatness? Can Mariota finally hold on to his starting job after a rocky NFL career? eight episodes of Quarterback will give you the answers to all three questions.

Thankfully, critics and viewers have already weighed in on Netflix's new documentary, and the feedback has been generally positive: six critics gave season one an 83% Rotten Tomatoes score, 12 viewers gave Quarterback an 83%.

Polygon's Austen Goslin was positive in their review. They believe it doesn't reach the depth of Netflix's other hit sports documentary, F1: Drive to Survive, but it's still well worth watching."

"Despite its problems, it's still a pretty entertaining show, with some big takeaway moments for fans with only a superficial understanding of the 2022 season.

The only negative review comes from Scott Hines of Decider." While "Quarterback" is a tightly produced sports television production, it does not offer much more insight than one would get from a Sunday pre-game show. Like Goslin, Hines also criticizes the show's depth, or lack thereof.

And viewers share this view. Todd H. says, "It's pretty obvious that after the first few episodes (and the start of the season), their access has decreased significantly." For the most part, however, viewer critics were very excited about Patrick Mahomes in particular, who clearly stole the show.

Don't expect "Quarterback" to go as deep as the same sports documentary "Formula 1: Drive to Survive" Season 5 or the ESPN documentary series about NBA legend Michael Jordan, "The Last Don't expect depth like "Dance": while promising deep insights and access, "Quarterback" seems to do little more than skim the surface. [especially whenever Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes appears on screen. That's especially true whenever Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes appears on screen. But NFL geeks looking for groundbreaking discoveries can probably skip this one and watch something else instead; if you already have Netflix, "Drive to Survive" is the obvious alternative.
