Watch Now: Necaxa vs Hudson River Blue Live Stream

Necaxa is a new docuseries that aims to capture the charm and drama of a struggling football club in Mexico. The show is led by the likable Eva Longoria, a minority owner of the club, who is trying to breathe life into a team that lacks community support. While the series follows the club’s journey in the 2024 Leagues Cup, it struggles to connect with audiences due to the team’s lackluster performance and lukewarm reception in Aguascalientes.

Unlike its predecessor, Welcome to Wrexham, which resonated with viewers for its passionate portrayal of a beloved team in a coal-mining town, Necaxa falls short in capturing the hearts of its city. The club, founded in 1923 in Mexico City, has struggled to stand out in a crowded market and only relocated to Aguascalientes in 2003. With a modest stadium and a league that lacks relegation, Necaxa fails to generate the same level of excitement as its English counterpart.

The series follows the ups and downs of Necaxa’s season, focusing on key players like defender Alexis Peña, who faces challenges both on and off the field. However, early episodes lack the depth and character development needed to engage viewers. With a 10-episode season airing on FXX and streaming on Hulu, Necaxa has the opportunity to introduce new storylines and characters that could add more substance to the series.

Overall, Necaxa feels more like an infomercial than a captivating docuseries, lacking the emotional depth and authenticity that made Welcome to Wrexham a hit. While the show may struggle to find its footing in the early episodes, there’s potential for it to grow and evolve as the season progresses. Whether Necaxa can replicate the success of its predecessor remains to be seen, but with Longoria’s investment in the club, there’s a vested interest in turning this underdog story into a compelling narrative.
