While the show isn't the best show of 2017, I don't think it was made to be.

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!

score 7/10
