Netflix subscribers believe a long-running series on the streaming platform is 'losing its magic' with recent episodes.

There's plenty to choose from on Netflix, so you don't really want to be wasting time on series or films that aren't any good. That's where Reddit forums come in, allowing you to gauge the perception of a series before you have to sit down and watch it.

Of course, just because some random user on the internet doesn't like a particular show, doesn't mean you're not going to find some joy with it either. Nonetheless, they're certainly a good place to go when looking for opinions from like-minded people.

On that note, Untold is a series produced by Netflix offering an insight into the behind the scenes stuff within the sports world and many of its incredible stars, and it's been recommended on a few online threads.

Untold: The Liver King, telling the story of how the influencer that devours raw meat on social media, is one of the more recent iterations in the series. NFL quarterback Brett Favre's story has also been documented on Untold recently - something which hasn't appeared to have hit with fans.

Taking to the Netflix Reddit forum, one viewer wrote: "The Untold series is losing its magic and the last two episodes have been awful.

"Just finished watching both the Liver King and Favre Untold episodes.

"While I enjoyed the 'Shooting Guards' episode quite a bit, I cant help but be shocked by how awful the Liver King and Favre Episodes were."

The Reddit user went on: "I am a huge fan of the series and the Way brothers [Chapman and Maclain Way] work, but since they have handed off directorial duties to other filmmakers, I can't help but think the series is losing its juice.

"The Liver King episode was one of the worst documentaries I think I have ever seen in my life and the Favre episode was a bit a mess. Not even the gorgeous soundtrack the series boasts and brilliant editing could save the two from being borderline unwatchable.

"I hope the Way brothers direct more episodes in the future because they are some of the most talented and exciting filmmakers at the moment."

Many flocked to the comments section of the post, and it's safe to say the general consensus is the same.

"I’ve watched two or three of them. The last was Liver King. It was poor and messy," one viewer penned.
