tony-727-192914 I really liked the pilot and I had hoped that Amazon would pick this up and run with it for a few season.The main characters are good, and the actors seem to fit the roles well. The humour is just the right side of zany, and without giving too much away, the scene with the monkey doing cocaine at a party and then shooting up the place is priceless.It has a bit of 'Blue Mountain State' and the brilliant 'Ballers'. And like 'Ballers' it has cameos from true NFL legends. I particularly liked the appearance of the FOX NFL game show hosts such as Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson and co in the pilot.
marioskra After watching the Pilot I have to say the writers did a good job incorporating the wackiness without going over the top like they do in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The characters are also not overly unbelievable like in Brooklyn Nine-Nine which are totally over the top at times. I am pleased when I don't have to face-palm myself at scenes like when they use corny idiotic used up jokes in other comedy shows. There are a lot of cliché moments, but it is a cliché story so that is to be expected. I still found it very entertaining and hope it gets picked up for more episodes. All in all very well written for such an cliché story.
josta1 One thing that kept coming up while I and a few friends were watching The Rebels was, why is this only a 30 minutes show? We want more!! I wish it had been a full hour.I would give this is an 9 out of 10...It started out on the WTF side but once it got about 5 minutes in it pulled me in, and just as you start to get into it, it's over!!! It reminded me of a combo of Weeds, Necessary Roughness, and North Dallas Forty... I love the fact that the FOX football show commentators were in this and did a flawless job... I really hope Amazon pick this up!
lotus_j I really expected this show to be dumb. I gave it a chance though, and was shockingly surprised. The jokes were hits more than misses and it makes you wonder what a series would be like. I for one want to see it. The team is crazy, the owner is obviously a fish out of water who has little knowledge of football. The GM is young, but knows football, he kind of has every fan's dream job. The rookie QB is obviously a jerk. The old wise QB has everything but a championship ring. The WR is just flat out crazy. Yes, they're all clichés. It says something when a show can overcome the clichés and still have you wanting more.The after credits scene with the monkey was worth watching the credits for.
