The first season of the endearing and charming documentary series “Welcome to Wrexham” played like a non-fiction spin on “Ted Lasso,” as likable Hollywood hotshots Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the non-league and perennially downtrodden Wrexham A.F.C. and infused the residents of a working-class Wales town with hope that their lads would finally turn things around. It was a great underdog story, focusing as much on the players and the fans as the earnest, relatively naïve, constantly quipping new owners.
It’s a different ball game, or should we say match, in Season Two, as the series readily acknowledges in the series opener, as we see Reynolds and McElhenney taking an etiquette course in preparation for a visit from King Charles III. The likelihood of that happening before the documentary series is about as strong as Wrexham A.F.C.’s chances of ever making it to the Premiere League level.
