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.

It's entertaining in a flimsy, forgettable way, giving us everything we'd anticipate expect from a period drama, and not much more.

NBC News THINK

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.

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.

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]

The stripped-to-the-bone element is one reason why it's breathtaking.

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.

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.

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]

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.
