The comic daily lives of three misfits who share a London flat. Mandy, the beautiful, intelligent blonde who can't seem to keep a job or prevent the wrong men failing in love with her all the time. Matthew who owns the flat but can't step outside yet still manages to live out some bizarre fantasies much to the chagrin of the other occupants. Finally, Martin the red-haired dreamer who can't seem to find the right woman but has been having an on-off relationship with Clare for a long time whilst he searches in vain.
Critics of the show felt that the characters weren't likeable enough, particularly Matthew, who has very few redeeming features, despite Ben Chaplin investing him with a certain charm. Chaplin left after series one when Hollywood beckoned, and Neil Stuke (who had originally auditioned for the role and only narrowly lost out in the first place) replaced him.
Much of the comedy revolved around sexual issues. The boys get very little action: Matthew because he is slightly unhinged and Martin because he is painfully shy and inexperienced. Mandy, despite her looks and drive, is deeply insecure and prone to ill-considered dalliances with inappropriate men.
There is a refreshingly defeatist tone about Game On. The characters ultimately fail to prosper because of their own shortcomings and there are no fairy tale endings.
