The 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]
April 24, 2020
There'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.
July 13, 2020
A well mounted, strongly acted and consistently watchable series.
March 25, 2020
A reminder that football unites us all, this scored drama goals.
April 14, 2020
This 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.
July 15, 2020
It 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.
April 01, 2020
The 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.

You 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]
March 23, 2020
Apart 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.
March 23, 2020
Mostly, 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.
March 25, 2020
It's entertaining in a flimsy, forgettable way, giving us everything we'd anticipate expect from a period drama, and not much more.
March 23, 2020
The stripped-to-the-bone element is one reason why it's breathtaking.
