“Why do we do this to ourselves?!” complains an elderly woman in the opening moments of Welcome to Wrexham’s second season, attempting to make sense of her obsession with the trials and tribulations of her local football team. “Why can’t we like knitting?”
Joining a knitting club certainly sounds less stressful than watching Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney attempting to transform the fortunes of a historic and ailing football team in a former mining town, with absolutely no experience in the sport.

Rather than giving us a big, shiny fairy tale ending, season one instead ended in anti-climax and crushing disappointment.
