If you’re like me, you’re still recovering from the absence of Premier League football earlier this year. Of course, there are more important things going on, but football is one of those joys that we expect to always have, no matter what is happening. COVID-19 only felt real for so many of us the moment the Premier League was put on hold.
Since Project Restart, there has been a wealth of action, and the new season has started with a bang. However, there is a sense of instability, that it could be called off at any moment. After all, players and coaches of some of the biggest teams have had to sit out matches due to COVID diagnoses.
Furthermore, the sheer amount of goals and the unpredictability of matches, while incredibly exciting, does give the impression that this season is different to any other.
Well, if you’re looking for football content that is not teetering on the edge, you need look no further than Amazon Prime Video. If you want access to more content, you can read more on how to watch Amazon Prime from another country, getting to watch shows that are not available everywhere.
These are the best Prime Video shows about Premier League you should watch right now.
Make Us Dream
Prime Video released Make Us Dream in 2020. It is a documentary about Steven Gerrard that follows the highs and lows of his illustrious career. Gerrard is not just a Liverpool legend. He was a staple of the English national team for years, and his life off the pitch resembled the experience of many British non-footballers.
Gerrard lost a cousin to the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989, and it shaped the course of his life. He learnt the value of football – both in its power to unite, and how sometimes it is not the most important thing. Make Us Dream is the perfect watch during a worldwide pandemic.
All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur
Narrated by Tom Hardy, All or Nothing follows Tottenham Hotspur’s 2019/20 season. Even before COVID brought football to a halt, the season had been anything but stable. Spurs began the season stuck in a rut that had set in the previous season. Mauricio Pocchetino was sacked, and replaced by Jose Mourinho.
Considering Pocchetino’s impact on Spurs over the past few years, this was a very emotional decision for fans and players, but it has led to something of a resurgence. All or Nothing gives unique context into what was going on behind the scenes.
Take Us Home: Leeds United
At the start of the 2019/20 season, Leeds United fans knew their team had the potential for something special. With Marcelo Bielsa at the helm, the famous club was finally on the up, and everyone could see a potential return to the Premier League on the horizon. Take Us Home presents this context, as Leeds United begin to dream again of what could be.
Released in 2019, the documentary takes place before Leeds United secured a return to the Premier League. With the knowledge of its inevitability, Take Us Home is a great watch that could warm the hearts of supporters of some of Leeds’ biggest rivals.
