Synopsis
Swagger (2021), Season 1 is an Apple TV+ sports drama you can watch online on iFILM — ten episodes built around Jace Carson, a fourteen-year-old basketball phenom out of the DMV.
Jace lands on a youth team run by Ike, a coach who once looked destined for stardom and now wants to turn raw teenagers into champions. The season tracks a grind for the number-one ranking, a sharp rivalry with the gifted Nick, and the question of where a personal win ends and the team begins. Then the pandemic shuts the courts down. A road trip to a tournament puts the boys face to face with racism. By the home stretch, Swagger DMV is clawing toward nationals, and an injured Jace has to choose between his own health and his teammates.
Kevin Durant produced the show, drawing in part on his own years in amateur ball, so the basketball is really a way into adolescence, pressure, and the dignity of young Black players in America. Stream Swagger Season 1 online on iFILM.
