THE LAST DANCE
April 19, 2020  | By David Bianculli

ESPN, 9:00 p.m. ET

 
DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: ESPN has moved up its previously planned premiere date for this 10-part documentary, which covers Michael Jordan’s final championship run with the Chicago Bulls. The drama, both backstage and on court, of the team’s thrilling 1997-98 season is captured and presented here – and, uniquely, is presented in two different ways. On ESPN, The Last Dance is presented unedited and uncensored – but on ESPN2, it’s simulcast in a different version, with the profanity bleeped out, so the whole family can watch. Think of it as a locked-down family service. Or a way for the ESPN empire to get twice as much air time out of a single program. Either way, it works.
