YMMV / Big Shot (2021)

Go To

  • Cliché Storm: Every review notes the series does use a lot of the same tropes in various coach-related sports entertainment, but thankfully seems aware of that and is a case of Tropes Are Not Bad.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Giggles for exactly the reasons you think.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple:
    • Harvyn (Holly/Marvyn) seems to be more popular than Maggie/Marvyn. Holly and Marvyn seem to have a bigger fanbase and more supporters than Maggie and Marvyn does.
  • Friendly Fandoms:
    • With The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers due to their themes of teamwork, likable characters, a coach past his glory getting back into the sport and both being on Disney+. Also both feature classic sitcom actors in lead roles (Lauren Graham in Mighty Ducks and John Stamos in this).
    • With Ted Lasso, due to the similar themes of a fish-out-of-water coach winning over a team that is initially dismissive of them, and the coach's struggle with anxiety attacks
  • Memetic Mutation: Tons of jokes relating to Spamton G. Spamton have sprung up about this show, due to Spamton being commonly associated with the phrase big shot. Just looking at the comments on the official trailer will already provide nearly 1000 of them.
