If you can’t stand the likes of Jake Paul, Johnny Manziel, Victor Conte from BALCO and the Florida Gators of the Urban Meyer era — well, the third edition of the Netflix sports documentary series “Untold” probably won’t change your mind, but you might gain a measure of empathy or at least a more thorough understanding of some of the subjects of these journalistically solid and thorough pieces.
This is a straightforward, traditional documentary series, relying on simple graphics, a treasure trove of news and highlight footage, and present-day interviews with a number of principal players in each chapter, from Jake and Logan Paul to Manziel and his parents to Victor Conte and onetime 100-meter record holder Tim Montgomery to Meyer and Tim Tebow.
