After seven seasons, the cast makes a tight team capable of bouncing between insults and absurdist physical humor with ease. The League is pure fun, nothing more.
The shock bar is set pretty high, but Season 7 proves up to the task, if subtly. For the new football season, the league switches from a snake draft to an auction draft.
All this [bathroom jokes] serves a fan base, which is fine. It’s just too bad that a lot of viewers who would appreciate the sports humor will pass on the uber-raunch.
As The League begins to wind down, there's no clear indication that the showrunners see the less charming elements of their at least partially reprehensible characters as often as they celebrate their minor, shallow victories.
