2.5/4
The impact of Home Game is enhanced because it's a tribute to the power of sports as a communal gathering point at a time when that's not possible Go to Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal 06/24/2020

Michael W @mawilps 11/22/2020 This Netflix docuseries was really good. The entire crew that made this series did a fantastic job in documenting these popular sports played in countries around the world. It gives an inside look on how the sports are played and how much the fans really get into it. If you're a Netflix member, you should definitely check this series out sometime. It's a must see.
