Watching the new Netflix sports docuseriesAaron Rodgers: Enigma, I reflected on how the media has changed this century. It’s a funny thing. Journalists and reporters demand genuine, honest conversation, yet we live and die by search engine optimization. However, we live in an age where we reduce soundbites to the point where we no longer care about their accuracy.
Today, we cut up what transpires in a one-on-one conversation or press conference into something that never reflects the actual intent. The days of Edward R. Murrow are gone, replaced by bloggers and social media darlings. While watchingAaron Rodgers: Enigma, you can genuinely feel for the man, but he often puts his foot in his mouth without showing true humility.

Netflix’sAaron Rodgers: EnigmaReview and Synopsis
For instance, you might wear a mask if you choose not to be vaccinated to avoid putting others at risk. The incident was well-documented. However, years later, the man still feels he is in the right. This, nonetheless, is both a selling point and a detraction forAaron Rodgers: Enigma. He’s honest, almost to a fault, except for that once.
This is admirable because, although the docuseries has a clear bias in attempting to repair his image, it still offers intriguing insights. The Netflix production had an apparent premise: like most football fans, they believed Rodgers would make the NFL pay for doubting him by leading the New York Jets to the Super Bowl. As we know, his team is now one of the worst in professional football.

Netflix’sAaron Rodgers: Enigmais…
However, the series is now viewed through a new lens, making Rodgers’s story even more compelling as we see his mindset behind the scenes during the most challenging time of his career. The rehab process is enjoyable but offers nothing new if you’ve watched his interviews onThe Pat McAfee Show. Yet, the series becomes more engaging, focusing on his personal life.
Rodgers’s engagement toShailene Woodleyis notably left out. Perhaps what is most interesting is that Rodgers chronicles the moment he seemingly decided to cut ties with his family. It occurred when his brother Luke appeared onThe Bachelorette. The show hinted at Rodgers’s absence by showing empty chairs at the family table.

Is Netflix’sAaron Rodgers: EnigmaWorth Watching?
Still bitter, the human “enigma” passive-aggressively tells the camera that his brother went on the ABC series to become “famous.” It’s those moments where you wish he would take the high road. Then again, that wouldn’t be Rodgers, who prides himself on not having a filter. And that’s precisely what makesAaron Rodgers: Enigmaworth watching.
The series is relatively unvarnished. Yes, we all would have preferred some interviews that would push back against Rodgers’s narrative of his truth. For instance, the reference interviews with friends and current teammates are overkill. However, one can sympathize with countering some lies made against him.
