The Player Season 1 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The plotting in The Player Season 1 is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. Alex Kane, a Las Vegas security consultant, becomes The Player when he is thrown into a world of secret high-stakes gambling in which he must stop crimes before they are perpetrated. An anonymous group of powerful and affluent individuals bet on whether Kane can prevent these crimes. Kane is allowed limited assistance from the dealer, Charity Wakefield, and kept in check by the pit boss, Mr. Charity Wakefield and Philip Winchester lead a cast that brings real weight to the material.
