‘The Dynasty’: Whether you love the Patriots or hate them, there’s plenty in new documentary for you

  (Via Apple TV+) In retrospect, “The Last Dance” was both the best and the worst thing to happen to the sports documentary genre. On one hand, the behind-the-scenes account of the 1997-98 champion Chicago Bulls was a revelation, a shot of nostalgia for a long-gone era and an appreciation of one of the greatest teams of all time.
