The Player has the feel of one of those high-octane action thrillers that Hollywood pumps out--you get caught up in the moment, but the intricacies of the plot dissolve the second you step out of the theater.
"The Player" has the potential to be enjoyable even if the premise seems like a high-risk, low-reward gamble.

Bring back The Player, this show should have never been on the chopping block. This is a great show. You let critics, who are in fact human dictate what should be shown. Go with the users, users are critics and I'm saying bring this show back immediately. Again, this is a great show with incredible action and a good story line.

SEASON 1
For its combination of silliness revved up to a furious pace, The Player is, as I said at the start, watchable--the kind of visual junk food that you find yourself consuming for an hour before you realize 60 minutes have passed.
Without a steady spray of sawdust coming from Snipes’ direction, there’s too much time to focus on the show’s loony premise and unspeakable morals.
The action sequences are cool. Unbelievable, but cool. Fast forward through the rest of this drivel and just watch those, if you must.
A new action series from NBC with a ludicrous plot full of unlikable characters played by not particularly likable actors.
In short, they're plotting to turn the world into an episode of Starsky and Hutch.
This is an AMAZING show. The chemistry isn't forced and you are immediately **** in to the story. Philip Winchester and Charity Wakefield make this show. My favorite show on TV!

SEASON 1
This series is action-packed and Philip Winchester as Alex Kane is excellent. That being said, the premise for this series is so far-fetched and bizarre, I have trouble getting past it. The pit boss, played by Wesley Snipes and his assistant (Charity Wakefield) are standard stereotypes and not terribly likable. I'll keep trying because I enjoy Philip Winchester's work, but I'm not sure if this one can last.

It is also poorly written and entirely unbelievable.
