I'll start by saying that the show was mostly good. I remember waking up at 4 am to watch the live playoff games, so it was nice and nostalgic. I wasn't a Bulls fan and wanted Utah to win it, but the show made me appreciate the Bulls more.
Having said that, it looks and feels like the show was directed by Jordan himself. Even when they try to show other sides of him, he comes out almost prefectly clean on the other side.
I especially didn't like his arrogance and mistreatment of teammates and opponents (like the way me laughed at what Gary Payton said). I understand that in order to make a documentary about Jordan, you need his approval, but I feel it crossed a line.
In addition, I think there were too many explanations about why he wanted to win (because, evidently, only winning a championship isn't enough). It was always: the coach said that, so I had to show him, or this player dared to try and win, so he deserved a lesson.
So it's a good show, but it's a one man show, and way too kitschy for me.
