All or Nothing Manchester City | Amazon Prime Original Trailer

Everything from the Premier League title win to the Champions League exit at Anfield is covered in incredible detail, with access to the dressing rooms and the training ground. The cracks of a trophy-winning season are exposed.

We point out why you should tune into every single one before you embark on your binge watch...

Episode One

The point at which you get totally sold on the series. This is very clearly different to Netflix's Juventus documentary as it becomes obvious how much access Amazon's cameras have been afforded with their £10million payment to City.

As Sportsmail's review of the first episode suggested on Wednesday, this will make it clear that the rest of the eight-part run is worth paying attention to.

A highlight is the moment in the away dressing room at Chelsea following the 1-0 victory there, where the entire squad and Pep Guardiola's backroom staff jump up and down while singing 'Oh Kevin De Bruyne', serenading the man who had secured them a vital three points.

There is also the first introduction to Guardiola and his wild eyes at a tactics board as he forces Domenec Torrent to go back to the circles as he has a sudden moment of realisation.

Benjamin Mendy's injury is also covered, while there is an introduction to the amount of explicit language used behind closed doors in football. Spoiler alert: it's tons.

Episode Two

This one is hooked on the first Manchester derby of the season, and the episode is bookended by the build-up and action as City showed their true strength in the title race by beating their close rivals.

We also get a wonderful tour of Sergio Aguero's house – he keeps a shirt from every game in which he has scored – and cover the game against Napoli in the Champions League.

Time is spent with the City laundry women, who wonderfully question whether Gabriel Jesus (or No 33) takes 'knickers' with his shorts.

And, brilliantly, Guardiola highlights Harry Maguire as a weak link in one revealing scene, before further footage shows how City took advantage of his pace – or lack of it – to grab the second goal as they beat Leicester 2-0.

Torrent's set-piece work is also impressive as his instructions turn out to be incredibly important as City beat Manchester United 2-1 to lay a genuine marker down in the Premier League title race.

Episode Three

A personal highlight of this episode is the revelation of just how superstitious Guardiola is.

He has worn the same pair of boots – from the range of footwear branded with the name of his footballing mentor, Johan Cruyff – for the entirety of a winning streak. And he is not about to lose them.

There are also interesting discussions around the potential transfer of Virgil van Dijk to City back in January.

Guardiola impresses as a man during an intense team talk ahead of the Tottenham game, using the personal issues going on in David Silva's life to inspire his players.

And there is a furious team talk that featured in the adverts for the series that, in its full glory, shines even further and shows just how intensely Guardiola can address his players.

He has no issues with them hating him, as long as it just makes them better footballers.

The conclusion is the defeat at Liverpool that ends the unbeaten run, watched with the injured Fabian Delph. This is one of the best episodes of the entire run and something you should definitely seek out.

Episode Four

For once, the football fan is taken behind the scenes of a transfer as it comes to its conclusion in this episode.

The reality of the timings behind the Aymeric Laporte deal are laid out, complicated as they are by the fact he has a release clause that has to be met.

An extended discussion between Mikel Arteta and Guardiola on Raheem Sterling after a tough game for the England forward also reveals how footballers deal with disappointment and what each manager's approach towards that is.

The Cardiff and Wigan games in the FA Cup are also dealt with. Guardiola rages at the tackles that are coming in from the Cardiff players and is furious at the referee for the lack of protection that he is giving his men.

Wigan sees City dumped out of the FA Cup and ends hopes of a historic quadruple. Both games take you into the dressing room, as usual, and show Fabian Delph nearly taking the door off the handles after being sent off.

It's easy to miss, but Guardiola also makes the following bizarre declaration during a team talk: 'Sit down! Nobody talk. Wee, drink water and relax'.

Hopefully not all at the same time, Pep.

Episode Five

Something of a Carabao Cup special, which actually works fairly nicely. It is a tournament that could otherwise slip under the radar or be somewhat ignored in an eight-part series like this.

It's interesting to see Richard Wright talking Claudio Bravo through the penalty takers that he will face for a game, explaining their technique and even the fact they change sides every time they miss.

That nicely sets up the maligned goalkeeper's heroics when it came to spot kicks along the way to Guardiola capturing his first piece of silverware in England.

There's also a few funny moments – who thought they'd see Oleksandr Zinchenko made to walk into a room like a dog any time soon – and a particularly prescient one from Guardiola ahead of a corner kick.

The touchline battle between the City manager and Arsene Wenger during the cup final is also worth seeing as it shows the difference between Guardiola during a game and the public figure.

Episode Six

An episode that builds up nicely to one of the crunch games of City's season – the Champions League first-leg of the quarter-final against Liverpool away at Anfield.

Along the way, you are given a proper run down of Guardiola's footballing outlook – again, with a serious hat-tip to Cruyff, the Barcelona boss who created Pep the player.

And, importantly, given Guardiola's insistence that we put too much store by the manager and not those around him, his coaching staff are introduced in chunks with enough focus on each of them.

That allows you to truly appreciate a pair of behind the scenes chats in the dressing room ahead of matches, and one before the Everton game about Liverpool that makes you understand how managers actually speak about teams away from the usual glare of the cameras.

Again, we also get Guardiola the motivator, as he declares to his players following the Basel defeat at the Etihad: 'The only difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid and us is they f****** believe it. They've climbed the highest mountain, guys.'

Episode Seven

The big one.

It has three of the crucial clashes of City's season in – and therefore the one week period when City were rudely awakened from their dream of a treble and beating United to win the title at home.

The Liverpool game is covered well, as is Guardiola's reaction to the lack of perceived protection provided by the security staff at Anfield following the assault on their bus prior to the match.

The halfway mark also sees a stunning dressing room inquest following the United defeat in which Fabian Delph emerges as a big voice in the dressing room.

It is incredible to see what actually happens inside what fans can only perceive as an inner sanctum once a particularly disappointing defeat has happened. The players and staff hurt as much as you do.

Guardiola also has a particularly intense moment at half-time in the second-leg as he is caught telling the referee: 'It was a penalty! It was a goal and it was a penalty! Shut up! It was a penalty!'

Episode Eight

No more than a wrap-up and it does exactly the job that it says on the tin.

They win the title without kicking a ball – which sees Vincent Kompany watch the game between United and West Brom with a fan of City's fierce rivals.

There's a great line in here as his United supporting father-in-law asks, 'What does that say?', about his 1999 shirt.

Kompany replies: 'It says you're living in the past'.

There's a nice sign off to Yaya Toure's career, well-deserved given it is difficult for a lot of wider football supporters to understand where he sits in City's pantheon of players. It turns out: quite near the top.

The title celebration is covered in detail, including John Stones picking Bernardo Silva up to go hit the town.

Modern football is also displayed in all of its glory as Kompany FaceTimes Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker on two different phones after the final whistle goes in United's 1-0 defeat to West Brom.

That said, I'm still none the wiser as to why Stones turned up to a golf course wearing a bunny rabbit outfit.
