PlayMakers (on ESPN)

This isnt a show just for diehard sports fans, It's actually a pretty well rounded series: It's got dynamic characters that people can relate to, good plots for each episode(that I've seen so far) and it doesnt hold anything back. It's basically about how things really work in the world of professional athletes, how they are people just like everyone else and have things they have to battle, and the sacrifices they have to make, and the personal triumphs and struggles they face. I at first thought the show was gonna be lame, but then I actually watched it and was pleasantly surprised.
