Review:
Season 1 Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
  • This is a fun show that you can pick up and watch at any point of an episode. There is no winding story of which to keep track. These are athletes pulling off insane spectacles of strength, or in some cases spectacular failures.
    The announcers are lackluster, you could watch this without sound and not miss much, but the final episode with all of the previous episode's champions competing is easily the best. This is great as background watching. You can jump right in at any point.

Season 2 Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
  • This is a fun show made better by watching it with a group. It's the only obstacle course show I've watched, and it could be even better if the series would focus on contestants. There was way too much of the hosts included, and this year's hosts were a step down. They aren't why I watch the show, but they do detract.
    This is more of season one, and what these athletes do is awe inspiring.
