About
Released on 8 June 2023, the first season of Tour de France: Unchained, followed the riders and their teams through the 2022 Tour de France. The show attempts to give viewers a behind the scenes look at one of the world's most prestigious cycling races.
The series is produced by the same team from the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive and follows a similar structure.
The first season featured 8 of the Tour's 22 teams, in 8 episodes lasting around 40 minutes each. One of the biggest stars of the 2022 Tour de France, defending champion Tadej Pogačar did not feature in this series after his team, UAE Team Emirates, opted out of any involvement.[1][2]
It is set to return for a second series following the 2023 Tour de France, after Netflix announced its return for another series.[3][4]

Criticism
While the show generally received positive reviews,[5][6] there has been some criticism from riders about how they have been portrayed by the show.
In particular, Wout van Aert, who rides for Team Jumbo–Visma was unhappy about how he was portrayed during the show,[7] telling Sporza, "It's quite disturbing that there were stories written in the documentary that weren't there. For me, the series is focused on commotion."[8]
