There really is such a thing as organized arm wrestling tournaments. "Game of Arms" takes viewers a long way from the days of duels at the end of the bar after a night of drinking. The series follows the members of arm wrestling clubs in such cities as Erie, Pa., Kansas City, Kan., Sacramento, Calif., Baton Rouge, La., and New York, as they hit the road to compete for money, personal pride, and the reputation of their clubs. Episodes feature organized regional matches -- interspersed with scenes of arm wrestlers in more personal settings -- leading to a winner-take-all tournament involving the entire cast in the finale.

It's an in-your-face show about in-your-face people, both a record and an example of testosterone overload. It makes The Wolf Of Wall Street look like Sense And Sensibility. Go to Full Review Jonathan Holmes Radio Times 07/27/2020
It leans heavily on sports movie clichés, but that doesn't make them less effective. By the final round, you'll have chewed your fingers down to the knuckle. Go to Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast 07/27/2020
They are all so, so serious. About arm wrestling. It's all that seriousness that makes Game of Arms so fun. Go to Full Review Mike Ayers Esquire Magazine 07/27/2020
The show's theatrics are a bit much, but after you get past the initial Jersey Shore-meets-WWE vibe, it's easy to get sucked into watching a bunch of guys out-dude one another. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 07/27/2020
