    Storyline

    Edit
    Hard Knocks is an HBO documentary mini-series that takes a look inside the NFL training camp, with one team voluntarily chosen as the focal point every year. Of the 10 teams featured on the show thus far, none have won a Super Bowl and just 5 would go on to receive a playoff birth heading into the postseason. —James C. Searson

    Tons of filler and promotional stuff but still ok
    If you understand that this is an NFL promotional package written and edited by them with help from HBO then it's an ok watch.

    Most of the stories are pointless, NFL players eating candy, riding bicycles as if they aren't regular guys. About 1/4 of the show is actual practice content as the teams don't want to reveal too much.

    Be prepared to skip ahead a lot through the girlfriend stuff and scripted camera time in order to get to some decent content.
