Good Game

The plot may not seem interesting, but the show seems to acknowledge the fact the eSports are somewhat silly to begin with. If you guys enjoy Rocket Jump's VGHS, and love watching Game Grumps, you'll probably like this show as well. I thought the cast was very well chosen. Even though I hated Kamal, he played his role perfectly and did what was intended. The only character that I wish could've been executed or written better was Arin's character Ryland. For those who love Arin's work as Egoraptor or with Game Grumps, it's a common fact the Arin is lovable and totally hilarious. Arin is also an incredible voice actor, but this character seemed to hold him back. Arin's face is pretty monotone for the whole show unless something major happens. Dan seemed to really shine in this show for me, which is probably because his character (Alex) is much like his actual self. I think another thing that may make people less satisfied is the fact that Dan Harmon's name was on the poster and it wasn't as good as Community or Rick & Morty. The fact is, Harmon was a creator and writer for those shows, not just an executive producer. Given the experience of the creators and writers of Good Game, this show really isn't bad. Overall, I'm glad this show was made, and with the last episode (which was probably the best episode), it made me excited for next season. This is definitely one of the best shows on YouTube Red and really hope it doesn't get dropped. GO ESPORTS PEOPLE!

The show is good overall. It doesn't take itself seriously, and it knows how to make fun of itself.

Each episode focuses on the different member of the team, which helps carry the plot along. Each character is given just enough backstory for the viewer to care about their fate, without it distracting from the comedy bits.

The show does address some serious topics in esports and the gaming community as a whole. It's tastefully done though, and doesn't come off preachy.

I'm a fan of GameGrumps, and was pleasantly surprised to see Arin and Dan holding their own alongside the other actors. The acting is over- the-top, but it's done on purpose, the entire show is over-the-top. esports are over-the-top.

I really enjoyed the show, and am hopeful for a season 2.

I read a lot of bad reviews before I watched this, so I kept my expectations low. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised. It's not a comedic masterpiece, but it's the kind of humor over 4 million fans of Game Grumps have come to know and love. I found it very interesting seeing that humor molded into a story which any online gamer or fan of the Grumps can relate to.

The show definitely has its moments, and there are lulls as well, but the most important thing for me was, at no point did I want to stop watching. I actually binge watched all six episodes.

If you're a fan of game grumps you would love this couple references to their work but only true fans would find them the characters personalty's very close to the real personality's i really loved this youtube red show one of the best show's i have seen on youtube red

This show lacks a certain consistency and energy comedy-wise. Something about it is super static and disjointed. It's partly the editing and directing, as well as the lack of music. Both of the leads not being conventionally trained actors/comedians doesn't help. I love the Grumps, but this isn't really working, at least so far. (I'm writing this review after watching three of the six episodes.) I hope it picks up, and I hope they improve. But the producers need to step in and hire better editors and directors. It feels like "Community" at times, if there was zero comedic energy or tone running throughout. I truly do hope it improves.
