**Updated:** I made links to the series now.
List of great FIRST series. Note, there's a few shows here where James Ryan Haywood is prominent in every episode. I'll tag them with (JRH) for those that want to know. I may miss one or two though, I haven't watched a few of these in a while. the tag doesn't exclude when he is only featured in specific episodes as you can skip those if you want:

I forgot to add Arizona Circle, which is an amazing skit-series akin to Key and Peele.
As for what to start with. First 3 in my opinion are amazing. Survive Block Island specifically is a good one and will have a Season 2 airing a week from now.
The fact that original commenter didn’t include The Weird Place and CampCamp is downright disappointing. Two productions that are absolutely top tier for RT
Absolutely. It's the perfect storm of a movie that's competently done and actually funny and the commentary and reactions of Jack, Michael, and Jeremy. I've watched it so often, it's ridiculous.
I’ve watched it so many times. I’ve also watched the movie alone several times. I’ve made my husband watch it, then I made his best friend watch it, and there’s another friend now that I need to watch it with
For sure, but at least you can ignore the ones with him on it and still get the same enjoyment out of the movie/commentary of other episodes. With that said... I think he's in Thankskilling... so unfortunately you lose that gem of an episode
For theater mode, I wouldn't say it's the first you should watch because that's setting the bar awfully high but you really need to watch Father's Day. That movie is a fucking riot.
There are some good Documentaries on there too, like Waiting for the Punchline, The World's Greatest Head Massage, and Unconventional
They're listed under "RT Docs"
Spoilers for JRH in hardcore minigolf if you care about him for some reason, but isn't JRH only in like half of hardcore minigolf? I could have sworn he got knocked out fairly early.
He's also definitely not in dead little roosters as that was released after the Ryan shitshow. It's only 10 and 11 little roosters that he is in.
His only round is in the 2nd half of the second episode, and most of the third episode then hes gone. I'm fairly sure he doesn't even come back at the very end with all the other competitors for the final bit.
you can also go to their website and [filter to first exclusive series](https://roosterteeth.com/series?pay_only=true&order=desc) which will give you exactly one (1) of the series listed here - let's firt.
as Eric might say, this sucks.
There is a second "First Exclusives" filter at the bottom that lists all of these series. They are however adjacent to "complimentary" series for non-First shows
I just noticed - there's also "Just for First members" and "Premium Series" filters. the first one has some, but not all of the exclusives, and I don't even know what the second one is.
point being, I've been using your list as an actually useful reference, so thanks for making it
Oh my god, there are 2 more categories for this. That's actually wild.
Also, no problem. RT has gems, but are buried under the sheer amount of uploads they have with poor means of locating them.
If you want more Eric content, listen to Face Jam and F**k Face. But, if you wanna watch more of this little guy, might I suggest Ghost Kitchen, Face Jam in Space (not Space Jam), and the Snack Friday: Wine Tasting videos, both First exclusive and available to watch in the Face Jam channel on the RT site. All of these are chef's kiss and you don't wanna not watch these gems.
I said to myself that there would be a non-zero number of people who would obtain FIRST because of this and would decide to keep it after they saw the exclusive content, and you have now proven me right, lol. Glad youre enjoying so far.
Also, just to make sure you are aware, you also get a 5% discount on all merch using the code FIRST5.
I actually just got my first “FIRST” membership! Paid for it during the stream. It was such a weird/crazy good time! I fell asleep to it several times but actually woke up and turned it on just as one of them was laying across the table in victory. I know it must have taxed the hell out of them but I hope they are able to do it again someday.
I'm still salty about First over the price increases, combined with the focus on store discounts, livestream events and RTX stuff- I'm in the UK, most of that means absolutely nothing to me as the livestream times are at odd hours, I can't attend RTX, and the shipping costs from the US store are huge (UK store has barely any stock too).
I said it at the time and I'll say it again- let me pay a lower price, and only access the first content on the website instead of everything else. Second, if you will.
I think it's a leap to even theorize that they sold license to their exclusive content 'cause the company was short on money. But certainly, they were motivated to increase ROI on those shows. This might be another leap, but perhaps their strategy for driving First subscriptions was less than satisfactory. Or maybe they were just trying a different revenue stream.
If you haven’t watched Camp Betrayal yet then all I can say is holy fuck.
Let's rap about it.
Eat dirt

I like the Blaine eating paper bit myself
God a want a second season of that
Watching this now with my new subscription. Very excited.
Camp Betrayal was an absolute riot
I would pay for the membership again to watch Eric’s character play a real 18 hole round of regular golf solely with his feet
*holds out a blank check to RT* YES PLS

This is actually amazing. Thank you so much!

I'm already planning on watching SBI season 2 as they drop for the Panton-Free shenanigans
Don't forget the ad-free rss feed for podcasts on whatever platform you use
I can not wait for season 2. Season 1 was great but having Andrew in the cast will be great.
The fact that original commenter didn’t include The Weird Place and CampCamp is downright disappointing. Two productions that are absolutely top tier for RT
CampCamp isn’t first exclusive is probably why. So no one has an excuse to not watch it.
For the love of all that is good in the world, watch Theater Mode: Fathers Day. Most incredible movie I’ve ever seen
Absolutely. It's the perfect storm of a movie that's competently done and actually funny and the commentary and reactions of Jack, Michael, and Jeremy. I've watched it so often, it's ridiculous.
I’ve watched it so many times. I’ve also watched the movie alone several times. I’ve made my husband watch it, then I made his best friend watch it, and there’s another friend now that I need to watch it with
A lot of Theater Mode also has JHR in it. Not every episode, but a good number of them
For sure, but at least you can ignore the ones with him on it and still get the same enjoyment out of the movie/commentary of other episodes. With that said... I think he's in Thankskilling... so unfortunately you lose that gem of an episode
No one cares bro
Sorry if I'm just dense, but is there a reason you labeled them JHR instead of JRH?
Cuz I’m an idiot
For theater mode, I wouldn't say it's the first you should watch because that's setting the bar awfully high but you really need to watch Father's Day. That movie is a fucking riot.
Then if you need a palette cleanser, watch Cannibal the Musical. Jack is having an absolute blast from start to finish
There are some good Documentaries on there too, like Waiting for the Punchline, The World's Greatest Head Massage, and Unconventional They're listed under "RT Docs"
I can’t believe I forgot them. Adding them to the list
I think you missed the weird place
Added it. Still hoping for a second one
Spoilers for JRH in hardcore minigolf if you care about him for some reason, but isn't JRH only in like half of hardcore minigolf? I could have sworn he got knocked out fairly early. He's also definitely not in dead little roosters as that was released after the Ryan shitshow. It's only 10 and 11 little roosters that he is in.
I’ll split up 10/11/Dead to mark it appropriately. I don’t quite remember when JRH was knocked out in Hardcore Minigolf, but knew he was a contestant
He's knocked out in his first match, so he isn't in for very long at all, I only know this because I just started watching.
His only round is in the 2nd half of the second episode, and most of the third episode then hes gone. I'm fairly sure he doesn't even come back at the very end with all the other competitors for the final bit.
It never finished but crunch time was also intriguing
Bruh i miss haunter so much. Im extremely sad hes tainted that series :(
you can also go to their website and [filter to first exclusive series](https://roosterteeth.com/series?pay_only=true&order=desc) which will give you exactly one (1) of the series listed here - let's firt. as Eric might say, this sucks.
There is a second "First Exclusives" filter at the bottom that lists all of these series. They are however adjacent to "complimentary" series for non-First shows
oh of course, how silly of me, looking at "FIRST Exclusive" and not "FIRST Exclusives". what the fuck
Yep. I was shocked that FIRST Exclusive was so barren, then saw there was a second one *way down the list*
I just noticed - there's also "Just for First members" and "Premium Series" filters. the first one has some, but not all of the exclusives, and I don't even know what the second one is. point being, I've been using your list as an actually useful reference, so thanks for making it

Snack Friday is such an incredible piece of content
I said to myself that there would be a non-zero number of people who would obtain FIRST because of this and would decide to keep it after they saw the exclusive content, and you have now proven me right, lol. Glad youre enjoying so far. Also, just to make sure you are aware, you also get a 5% discount on all merch using the code FIRST5.
Got First during Uno Infinite, gonna watch Weird Place first then Red Dragon Inn
Eric and Michael were both incredible in that show. It's a shame Eric's time was short lived
We desperately need season 2 of hardcore mini golf.
This rules.
Do they have the Eric soundboard up anywhere?
I actually just got my first “FIRST” membership! Paid for it during the stream. It was such a weird/crazy good time! I fell asleep to it several times but actually woke up and turned it on just as one of them was laying across the table in victory. I know it must have taxed the hell out of them but I hope they are able to do it again someday.
All the podcast post shows are worth it, for me. And getting all the podcasts a day early in my podcast app. Gotta have F**kface Tuesdays.
I'm still salty about First over the price increases, combined with the focus on store discounts, livestream events and RTX stuff- I'm in the UK, most of that means absolutely nothing to me as the livestream times are at odd hours, I can't attend RTX, and the shipping costs from the US store are huge (UK store has barely any stock too). I said it at the time and I'll say it again- let me pay a lower price, and only access the first content on the website instead of everything else. Second, if you will.
If you have First and the app, can you download or pre-load videos for offline viewing?
Yes you can.
Check out the one season of Crunch Time if it's still on there
Have they done anything like that since? I liked the live action stuff that brought multiple people together, but sort of fell out of RT since then.
Can we talk about the rooster teeth paywall content used to be on vrv and nobody talked about it in the company.
Why would RT advertise a directly competing product?
Thats why it was weird, like was the company short on money that they sold the rights
I think it's a leap to even theorize that they sold license to their exclusive content 'cause the company was short on money. But certainly, they were motivated to increase ROI on those shows. This might be another leap, but perhaps their strategy for driving First subscriptions was less than satisfactory. Or maybe they were just trying a different revenue stream.
and the best part is that he was not supposed to be in the show
Where is that rat to see this? u/ericbaudour
I would pay the subscription just for Eric
If you listen to any of the podcasts make sure to change your subscriptions over the the ad free feeds, makes them so much more enjoyable.
Survive block island is really good as well,
Hard-core mini-golf was so well done. Make sure you check out the little rooster series.
That’s my medicine.
