Short, sharp and Leeds music
Perhaps the first thing you will clock when you turn on the first episode of Academy Dreams: Leeds United is its length. Episodes come in below a binge-friendly 30 minutes rather than the 40 to 45 minutes you would spend with each chapter of its predecessor, Take Us Home: Leeds United.
It’s also clear from the start there will be better access than we saw in the original series, which focused on Marcelo Bielsa’s first team in the Championship. With the Argentine, the dressing room was out of bounds, but it’s clear from the outset Mark Jackson’s team talks will be front and centre through this six-parter.
