Good Game (2017)
I love the Grumps, but...
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.
The League (2009)
A bright start with a dim finish
The League was one of my favorite shows. Funny, well written, well acted. A genuine fun time.
But that hasn't happened in quite awhile.
Around Season 5, the quality really starts to plummet, with season six being barely watchable and Season 7 limping over the finish line. Which is a shame, especially knowing ahead of time that this was the end, you would hope the creators and writers would try to give the fans some sort of memorable send off, but it feels as if they gave up long ago.
The first 4 seasons are great comedy, very wonderful and funny. Each season has an overarching plot, the characters and situations are funny, all of that. It's all thrown to the wayside for the later half of the series, however.
Taco goes from lovable stoner to oblivious jerk. Ruxin retains his character mostly. Andre's patheticness is one of the only constants in the series, and I love every cringy moment of it. Pete never really gained my interest. And Kevin and Jenny are just kinda there. Kevin gets really deplorable in later seasons, especially season 7.
And I understand if you hate him, but I enjoy Raffi. I'm a Manzoukas fan. Randy is a little ehh, I started to dislike him the more he appeared, but I do like Raffi.
All and all, don't feel compelled to watch the whole series. End at around season 4, maybe 5 if you really want more. You'll get your closure there. The final two seasons are not worth the trip.
