Players is a Netflix rom-com that follows sportswriter Mack (Gina Rodriguez) who spends time inventing hook-up "plays" with best friend Adam and their crew, which has led to countless one-night stands.
However there's a strict rule book — you can’t build a relationship from a play. But when Mack develops feelings for Nick (Tom Ellis), the lines between fun and romance begin to blur and she must learn what it takes to score someone for life.
