The Game

2021–2023 · 2 seasons

A breezy, witty look at pro football lives, mixing locker-room banter with sharp social jabs and soapy personal drama.

Overview: Relocating from San Diego to Sin City, a mix of new players and original cast offer a modern-day examination of Black culture through the prism of pro football. The team tackles racism, sexism, classism and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect and love – all while trying to maintain their souls as they each play the game.
How it feels: Satirical, warm, earnest and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Race, class, identity, ambition
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
