The League: The Complete Season One

Release date: September 14, 2010


The Pitch:

Six friends shun adulthood and compete on a virtual gridiron.

Why You Need It:

When six friends compete on the virtual gridiron, it's a no-holds-barred, win-at-all-costs free-for-all full of deception, trickery and one-upmanship. Pete (Mark Duplass), a slacker who has won the League the past four seasons, is determined to triumph once again even at the risk of his marriage. Arrogant yet paranoid, Ruxin (Nick Kroll) would rather brush up on key fantasy stats than dote on his newborn, much to his wife's chagrin. League commissioner Kevin (Steven Rannazzisi) secretly has his wife - the ruthless, confident and vaginally talented Jenny (Katie Aselton) - run his team. Kevin's younger brother, Taco (Jonathan Lajoie), is a part-time musician and full-time stoner who writes inappropriate songs. And, once a loser in high school, Andre (Paul Scheer) is now a successful plastic surgeon and a just as unsuccessful fantasy league player. Though marched grudgingly into adulthood, the motley crew finds refuge from life's tedium with immature behavior and the thrill of chasing victory.

Talent:

Paul Scheer, Steven Rannazzisi, Nick Kroll, Mark Duplass, Katie Aselton.
