Players

It's meant to be a silly series about pro league of legends players and i am not really a league fan so i dismissed it but then i watched it cause It seemed to be trending and i was curious and even though it has moments of absurd silliness, it's so real. The plotline, the writing, the camera work, the audio when the camera enters a documentary style setting. This was truly a directorial masterpiece. The acting leaves something to be desired but everything else about this series was masterful in my opinion.

This is made by the creators of the amazingly funny Amercian Vandal. The series is shot in a convincingly realistic documentary style, and follows the journey of a fictional League of Legends E-sports team.

The characters are fleshed out nicely and the acting is surprisingly good. They are not generic "gamer-boy" cutouts and the main characters have their own interesting backstories and motivations.

As a result, different personalities within the team clash and create conflict in a way that feels convincing and effectively drives the story.

Humour-wise, it's not in-your-face funny, but there are quite a few good laughs in there if you're paying attention.

The show doesn't hold your hand but is watchable as a newcomer to the gaming/e-sports scene. However some familiarity with the competitive scene will help you understand some of the more subtle jokes as well as appreciate the many cameos.

I hate that this is getting so many 1-star reviews but I can understand why. It's not a very obvious show but it's absolutely worth watching if you're looking for something that's just unique and different enough to be fresh and enjoyable.

Ignore the low rating, this show is really good, remember it's a mockumentary so not real. It's not as funny as American Vandel and I do not think that is the point.

It has good drama, if you are someone who plays Video games you will feel the story and for sure enjoy it.

I like the way the story progresses, it makes you hate a character then love them the next episode, only few shows can do that.

Give it a chance and watch it. It is worth your time and definitely should be rated higher than 6. Just look at the episodes rating they all average above 8.5.

Ignore the poor reviews. This show really provided a great 1st quarter. The characters are believable and relateable. Particularly Org for me, as an introvert gamer. Although I don't play LOL and was hard to keep up with some of the terms, the core story was universal and strong. Friendship, Family & Passion. Can't wait for the rest of it.

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.
