How to Watch “The Game” Revival Season Premiere

About “The Game”

“The Game” follows Tasha Mack, a sports agent riding herd over some of the biggest names in the football world. Recently relocating from San Diego to Las Vegas, “The Game” will take a closer look at football and its connections beyond the game. Black culture, racism, success, land, fame, and glory will be addressed.

Originally airing back in 2006, and closely connected with its immediate predecessor “Girlfriends”, the original series “The Game” had its focus in entirely different places. The original featured one of the cast members from “Girlfriends” as she followed her boyfriend to San Diego, where he was to become a professional football player. Melanie Barnett, said cast member, would soon discover the difficulties inherent in being both a med student and the girlfriend of a pro football player.

The original series lasted nine seasons. Whether or not the revival series will have that longevity remains to be seen. However, given how well the original series did, there’s a better than even chance that the revival will do well.

"The Game" Official Trailer Paramount+


Steve Anderson got his start writing about direct to video movies almost 15 years ago. This was back in a time when video stores were a part of everyday life, as opposed to being roadside attractions like gator farms or the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota. With that writing on the wall in huge day-glo capital letters and probably moving neon, Steve migrated to streaming, which was clearly the future of home entertainment. Steve has been an enthusiastic proponent of the home theater for years, however, and seeing streaming's growth has proven gratifying as a way to fill the video store's shoes.
