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.

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.

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.

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.
