Mowry herself is charming and capable, and Wendy Raquel Robinson has some fine moments as the mother-manager, but it's clear that The Game is to be played on the surface of these potentially interesting lives.January 13, 2020
Although played on potentially fertile turf... "The Game" feels pretty artificial and stages all its action near midfield.October 23, 2018
It just isn't funny. At all. Ever. Whatever else we may ask of sitcoms, they should at least be required to make us laugh somewhere along the half-hour line.October 23, 2018
This new CW series cranks out brash jokes that evaporate upon hitting the air, winds them into situations where women submit to their men, and leaves no aftertaste when it's gone. It's on TV, but it's never truly on.October 23, 2018
The Game commits all the sins you can imagine in a poorly conceived sitcom. It goes for laughs and sap, the world's most dangerous and noxious combination. It's also not funny, believable, interesting or, as previously mentioned, inspired.October 23, 2018
The Game lacks the relationships that made "Girlfriends" a qualified UPN hit and the comedy to make it much of anything for The CW.October 23, 2018
The Game highlights strong, intelligent women who refuse to fall victim to the pitfalls of living with football players and who strive to build and maintain their own unique identities outside of the supporting roles they play in the NFL franchise.January 13, 2020
There are more laughs if you switch to NBC's coverage of real football.January 13, 2020
The strength of The Game is its young, energetic cast.January 13, 2020
As a been-there football wife, Kelly boasts she can get through a "Vogue, a People, and two Ebonys by halftime." I wondered about those two Ebonys, since Kelly is the designated hot blond co-lead, but mostly I just heard the strained writing.March 05, 2019
The humor is dull, the characters are going to grate on you, and their men might as well be cut from recycled cardboard.
