Players: Season 1 | Ratings & Reviews

Consistently funny

This consistently funny dive into e-sports is clearly made by people who know what they're talking about. For gamers and n00bs alike, cemented by a fizzing performance from Misha Brooks as a nerd-jock named Creamcheese.

"An instant classic fictional sports doc..."

IndieWire

"There’s absolutely nothing mocking about the way Players explores (e-sports) as a community, and it’s a better show for it."

—

Variety

"More mildly amusing padded ad for esports than satire."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"(An) hilarious, engaging winner."

—

Paste

"You don’t have to be a gamer to enjoy Players... It’s a classic story about the veteran being displaced by an overconfident rookie, and it’s one that’s executed well."
