Season 1 Reviews
The Daily Beast
Laura Bradley
Not since Thomas Middleditch's Richard Hendricks has a TV nerd been this addictively despicable.
Mashable
Adam Rosenberg
Players' subversion of expectations effectively peels away our surface understandings of games, gamers, and gaming culture to deliver a story that, refreshingly, does right by all three.
Primetimer
Aaron Barnhart
An accessible, enjoyable introduction to a huge industry that passes many of us by.
indieWire
Steve Greene
There's no need to choose between someone telling a good story and someone living that story in real time when the show finds illuminating ways to capitalize on both.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Kathryn VanArendonk
Even though Players is a foreign setting to me, it is also a fun and poignant portrait of some specific types of guys.
Paste Magazine
Shane Ryan
If you liked American Vandal (is there anyone who didn't?) you can rest assured that Perrault and Yacenda bring the same talent for parodying a sports doc as they did for the true crime genre.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
It evokes much of the greatness of American Vandal but flips the script a bit by building toward a big tournament showdown, filled with complex comeuppances and perfect payoffs.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Players fell short of the mark for me.
Slashfilm
Rafael Motamayor
There is a specificity to the show's portrayal of e-sports that makes it a gift to those familiar with that scene, but also a bit daunting to those who are not.
ComicBook.com
Logan Moore
Even though Players might have been created for a very specific audience, those who are familiar with League of Legends in nearly any capacity should get a kick out of Perrault and Yacenda's latest project.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
A hysterical and moving character study that's also a snapshot of an entire culture, filmed with the death-or-glory excitement of a one-last-shot sports movie.
Decider
Joel Keller
You don't have to be a gamer to enjoy Players, even though the inside references will likely give gamers a smile. It's a classic story about the veteran being displaced by an overconfident rookie, and it's one that's executed well.
Consequence
Clint Worthington
That it sells the drama while also poking fun at the innate absurdity of esports and its attending personalities is maybe Players's secret weapon.
Polygon
Bonnie Qu
Though Players is satirical, it's not mean-spirited. At the heart of its humor is sincerity, and an understanding of why the spectacle of esports draws us in and keeps us coming back for more.
Slant Magazine
Steven Nguyen Scaife
The series may not reach the comedic heights of its predecessor, but it takes its characters seriously, no matter how ridiculous their situation may be.
Variety
Caroline Framke
Calling Players a "mockumentary" might be technically accurate, but feels spiritually wrong. That might make it less laugh-out-loud funny, but it also makes it more complex.
The Verge
Jay Peters
Players is a decent way to get a sense for the League of Legends community. But, in its attempt to skewer the scene with awkward humor, it becomes an awkward hybrid itself, one that never leans fully enough into either drama or jokes.
