Good Game is a new scripted comedy series from Dan Harmon. Harmon you may recognize for his work in creating shows like Community and Rick & Morty. Maybe you've heard of those? Good Game focuses on the world of esports. Perhaps you've heard of it? Good Game stars both Dan Avidan and Arin Hanson from the Game Grumps. Mayhaps you've heard of them? You're also looking to see Michele Morrow, Michael Ornstein, Rahul Abburi, Jade Payton, and Oliver Cooper.
Yep, it's a YouTube Red series. However, as someone that's had YouTube Red for many months now, I'd say it's worth it. You don't have to see ads (especially useful if you watch on mobile or on consoles on a regular basis), plus you have access to Google Play Music. They aren't paying me to say this, I just really like YouTube Red (even if I've never used it to watch YouTube Red exclusive shows).
