Critic Reviews of "The English Game - Season 1"
BBC.comJuly 15, 2020It is the true joy of TV, [that] it delves you into a world that you think you wouldn't know anything about. This is one of those shows.
The Age (Australia)April 24, 2020There's plenty of fudging of the facts... But that's not the biggest failing of The English Game. Nor is the fact some of the relationship drama feels rather wooden and perfunctory. The biggest issue is that there's not enough of, well, the English game.
Sydney Morning HeraldApril 01, 2020The costume and production design is immersive, it's all quite gorgeously shot, and the whole stands alongside The Crown in showing that Netflix can get this stuff done every bit as well as the BBC.
Globe and MailMarch 23, 2020The stripped-to-the-bone element is one reason why it's breathtaking.
The Mail on Sunday (UK)March 23, 2020Mostly, this is Elizabeth Gaskell's North And South (complete with mill strikes) as teamed with a variety of highly predictable romance subplots and any number of underwhelming football scenes.
NBC News THINKApril 14, 2020This is a series about football, which means they have to play football for long stretches of every episode. And yet somehow the show manages to make every game stereotypical and yet simultaneously tedious.
CulturamasApril 07, 2020You begin [the show] thinking that you're going to see something interesting about the origins of football in England and end up swallowing a cheesy and gimmicky melodrama without an iota of depth. [Full review in Spanish]
EspinofMarch 27, 2020The baggage ends up being a bit bittersweet, but it is still worth checking out, especially those interested in the origins of soccer. [Full Review in Spanish]
Daily Mirror (UK)March 25, 2020A reminder that football unites us all, this scored drama goals.
DeciderMarch 25, 2020It's entertaining in a flimsy, forgettable way, giving us everything we'd anticipate expect from a period drama, and not much more.
The Arts DeskMarch 23, 2020Apart from the novelty of having football at the centre of the action, The English Game has largely been compiled from a bunch of wheezy old cliches about class inequality.
