Nobody watches a sports series for the result. The scoreboard is a device for making people reveal themselves, and the good ones know this: the match is twenty minutes of an hour, and the rest is a locker room, a kitchen table, a man who cannot explain why he has stopped being good. We score these on how much the losing costs the characters and how honestly the series admits it. Our shelf leans towards comedy, and towards the last few years, which has brought a crop of football and hockey series that are warmer than they are rigorous.

Start with Friday Night Lights (86), for Kyle Chandler and the patience it shows people under pressure. Then Dear England (80), which makes thoughtful management watchable. For something crueller, Eastbound & Down (78) builds a comedy around an appalling man and makes you mind about him. After those, try the wrestlers of GLOW and the hockey players of Shoresy, both kinder than their language suggests.
