John J. O'Connor New York Times 06/05/2018
The series is perhaps at its best when dealing with the cutthroat details of management and team politics. There is, beneath the clowning around, a touch of seriousness. Go to Full Review Will Harris AV Club 06/05/2018
1st & Ten is the type of HBO series differentiated from contemporary network fare only by its not-ready-for-primetime raunch-novel by mid-'80s standards. Go to Full Review Jeff Jarvis People Magazine 06/05/2018
In the end, 1st & Ten is inoffensive but hardly hilarious. Not a bad try, not a great one. Second and nine. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
