    To the delight of sports fans (and TV fans) who don't have ESPN Plus, docuseries The Last Dance about Michael Jordan and the 1997-8 Chicago Bulls has finally come to Netflix. And it's been pretty hilarious to watch—a whole new round of viewers have thoughts about the series and its portrayal of Jordan, the coach, the manager, and players Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman, a few months after the rest of the sports world watched it. Twitter was abuzz with renewed fervor about the not-uncontroversial series, and there were even some new ideas about what might have gone on behind the scenes. Also, fans just wanted more—a lot of people are rewatching the series and hoping a follow-up gets made. Here are the best reactions to The Last Dance, so far.

    Already, fans love, love, love The Last Dance.

    The day the series dropped there was a lot of joy (and in this case, an allusion to Jerry Krause, the series' "villain":

    There's a lot of repeat viewers:

    So much awe:

    A little confusion:

    Every time I see The Last Dance trending I think it’s a new Julia Stiles movie. My bad. Jordan is cool too I guess. ;) pic.twitter.com/XBK5KMgdCdJuly 19, 2020

    And a lot of jokes:

    I’m finally watching the last dance and I’m so sad I’ll never be able to win an NBA championshipJuly 18, 2020

    Finally watched The Last Dance. Fuck man, that is an outstanding series. The quality of it is only matched by Jordan’s ability to hold a grudge 😂July 18, 2020

    There's a lot of love for Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen, too.

    So many thoughts.

    I’ve been saving “The last Dance”. I just picked up my phone at the Rodman part. pic.twitter.com/0B9XMTqJmUJuly 20, 2020

    Is The last dance solely about Michael Jordan? I’m confused sksks cause the second episode is about scottie pippen for like 5 minutes, switches to MJ and then the third episode is about Dennis Rodman for like 5 minutes then switches back to MJ lmaooo I——July 20, 2020

    Watching "The Last Dance" and now I understand that Dennis Rodman was just a gen z kid born ahead of his time.July 19, 2020

    There's definitely some meta commentary.

    First-time fans wanting to talk about a two-month-old series:

    Hulu must be so mad!

    And fans just want more:
