While Formula 1: Drive to Survive has garnered much appreciation and success, Break Point has failed to live up to its expectations.

Reilly Opelka makes a strong confession
The tallest American tennis star bashed the Break Point docuseries in a stirring revelation. Opelka did not enjoy the series at all and this was apparent from his serious revelation.
He said, “I think mainly transparency. I mean you look at a few sports that have done Netflix series now F1, Golf, Tennis. Tennis finished third by a mile. I don’t, I don’t get why the truth is such a controversial um, I know its an opinion, but I don’t think it’s a crazy radical thought that, that was a boring show. I thought that was, from the first episode I thought that was horrible.”
