Ryan Reynolds' documentary series, in which he and Rob McElhenney, a television/movie star, buy a fifth-tier Welsh soccer team in the hope of changing its fortunes, has been viewed by a lot of social media.



Although it's not clear why the celebrities bought Wrexham Football Club's football team the documentary series Welcome to Wrexham (FX) has already attracted some soccer fans in the US.



One man on Twitter said did not know that an American from Kansas was now a fan of a "soccer team" in Wales. Another person called the show "elite television" after only one episode.



Some have also suggested that the two stars' attempt to improve the rankings of the team to the comedy Ted Lasso, in which the American football coach played by Jason Sudeikis is hired to coach an English soccer team despite his limited knowledge of the sport.



One woman told me that she was losing hope that Ted Lasso would return for the third season. However, Reynolds and McElhenney are filling that void.



Some online users expressed their hope that the team "makes it through the ranks" and called it an "true underdog story." One person said that it "shows the reasons why sports are beautiful and gives me goosebumps and makes me weep with tears.

In a clip from the show posted online, McElhenney, right, voiced his concerns about purchasing the team however, Reynolds, left, assures him that it will work.

The docuseries follows Reynolds (best known for his role on It's Always Sunny, Philadelphia) as McElhenney and McElhenney decide to purchase the fifth-tier team of a small Welsh town.



In a clip from the show McElhenney posted online the two actors can be seen in the stadium deliberating about whether to purchase the team in decline.



McElhenney, 45 tells Reynolds that there is a danger for the two of them. He then adds that there's a story in which they are villains. Reynolds jokes and replies, 'That's usually the story I'm thinking of.



We say "Yeah, if it isn't working," and then we think "What are you gonna do?" We have to sell it." And then we're the bad guys.' McElhenney considers.



But Reynolds who is also 45 seems to not think about that possibility by saying 'F*** * this,' which McElhenney repeats back at him.



'It's gonna work,' Reynolds assures him.



The two actors eventually decide to buy the team and promise to elevate it to the fourth-tier within their first season, despite their limited knowledge of the sport.



The show has received praise on social media from fans who are now rooting for the fifth-tier team



It remains unclear why the two celebrities wanted to buy the soccer club from a small Welsh town. Eighteightsix They are seen here with young fans at the stadium.

Yet, locals are enthralled by the idea of Hollywood big wigs buying their own team.



As Angie Han writes for The Hollywood Reporter, 'the series' heart really lies with the staff, players and most importantly the fans associated with Wexham.



"Big portions of each episode are devoted to interviews with residents who talk earnestly about the sport, the community they've found or simply life in Wrexham.



But Han continues to write that the show has so far failed to give a thorough understanding of the fans and of the town.



It also fails not to reveal the backlash resulting from two wealthy celebrities buying it, or from a mass firing of their efforts to improve it.



A large portion of the show is focused on the reactions of the locals, and the players themselves



The two actors have so far relied on their celebrity to earn endorsements for the team



Fortunately, Reynolds and McElhenney seemed to realize their limitations managing a soccer club and instead focus their efforts on encouraging the team.



Their fame has enabled them to establish partnerships with TikTok and Expedia, EA Sports, Reynolds' Aviation Gin, and EA Sports. Eighteightsix They've also managed to lure top talent with their money and were able to pay for improvements to Racecourse Ground - the oldest international football stadium in the world.



Han writes that it's basically an extended commercial for Reynolds's and McElhenneys joint investment. It's it's a smart one,' Han says. Some on social media say they'll purchase Wrexham jerseys or inquire about how they might be able to watch the games in the US.



Han states that Welcome to Wrexham appears to be refined for its own good. It's certainly not the first docuseries to face these kinds of criticisms.



"At least this one leaves behind the feeling of warmth and comfort and manages to invoke as much affection for the ordinary people who watch it as it does for the beloved stars who brought them to us.
