Players (Serie de TV)

This show is original with the mockumentary format and very funny. Obviously, people who have zero interest in gaming may not like it as much but anyone who has even a passing interest in gaming and esports will appreciate this show. I don't understand the bad reviews.

I'm a huge longtime fan of e-Sports in general and I've played League of Legends so I might have a stronger connection to this particular genre but the over the top dialog and making fun of the way some professional players and CEO's live and act was parody 101. The organization itself "Fugitive Gaming" is a parody of teams like Team SoloMid and FaZe Clan, with the internal conflicks and drama on full display through a mockumentary-style direction which I thought was a great avenue to showcase an underappreciated yet still growing sport.

This show expertly walks the line of comedy and Drama similar to American Vandal. You don't need to be a fan of League of Legends to enjoy this show, as they have a character that serves as the audience in this regard and gets things explained to him.

Edit (after episode 8): This show started off as a great concept that was well done and has evolved into a surprisingly compelling and realistic show (while still being funny). You know a show is well done when you're sitting there rooting for players that aren't even real. They really are knocking this show out of the park and I can't sing its praises enough.

I hopped on here after watching the show so far expecting to see a high score considering how much I enjoyed it, only to be surprised that it has gotten terrible reviews. Click on the score and check out the age demographics of the reviews and it makes a little more sense.. It seems like the primary demographic for this age group is enjoying the show while older viewers are absolutely trashing it.

Is the show perfect? No, but when is a mockumentary perfect? It has the same feel as American Vandal (sort of over the top using the documentary style to tell a fun story) using the setting of the LCS as the backdrop.

I can't speak to what the show is like for those who haven't watched the LCS/professional league but its a funny show that touches on what the scene is like now with a great dose of nostalgia for the wild west era of esports.

Seriously look at jaronhatcher's review he created a brand new account just to 1-star review bomb the show with no reason except "its bad". Is there some sort of controversy or something like with Moon Knight?

This is a really good show in the style of Netflix's American Vandal. If you enjoy the League competitive scene you're sure to enjoy this show as well, it really looks like there was a lot of hard work put into this unique series.
