"Swamp Kings is probably the most disappointing documentary": CFB fans express criticism over Gators doc for bias towards Urban Meyer

Netflix's documentary "Untold: Swamp Kings" depicts an intricate and vivid view into Tim Tebow's era, reportedly led by his guiding light at the time, Urban Meyer.

Tebow and Meyer proved to be a forceful combination, bringing glory to the Florida Gators' history. While their story is nothing short of remarkable, the reception to the series has been a mixed bag.

A fan insinuated that the storytelling has been skillfully crafted to omit less favorable aspects, writing,

Examining 'Swamp Kings': From critics' point of view

The segment in question is one of the three volumes of the series released by Netflix. This volume also covers diverse topics like Jake Paul, the BALCO scandal and Johnny Manziel in separate segments.

Critics pointed out that the series dwelled mainly on Tebow's achievements. A homeschooled dyslexic kid making it big with the Gators captured the viewer's interest partially.

The key elements, such as Tebow and Meyer's difficult phases, were conveniently left out. The popular consensus is that the story has been masterfully narrated so as to leave out the uglier parts. Meyer's tenure and the scandals that cast a shadow on the Gators were not addressed comprehensively.

The documentary "Untold: Swamp Kings" stands as a missed opportunity, as fans lament the absence of an off-field story. The reviews of fans and critics present a stronger case of underperformance by the series at all levels of expectations.
