Host Erin Foley welcomes back comedian Bridget McManus to review a new reality show called “The Off Season” which features 11 professional women’s soccer players living in a house in Miami for 3 weeks during - you guessed it - the off season.

The six-episode, half-hour series follows them training, partying and living together. QUOTE “For the first time in sports history, some of the best players, rivals and teammates across a league are living in one house with uncensored access to their personal stories, interpersonal relationships and on-field journey.”

The creator and EP is Midge Purce - a forward for Gotham FC who teamed up with Alexis Ohanian and the reality TV producer Alex Baskin. We break down the first two episodes - which we loved. You don't have to be a huge soccer fan to enjoy the show - or even have watched any of the episodes. We've got you covered! Plus, the feel good moment of the week!
