Let me start off by saying that the show has a great hook and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

My problem came around half way through when I realized that the mole didn't really have a role. The mole can't be eliminated, the mole can't win, and the mole doesn't have to sabotage because 1. They gain nothing from it and 2. Everyone else is already busy sabotaging to draw attention to themselves. There's no point keeping track of who might have sabotaged consistently because the motives are all wrong.

The most frustrating thing is that the mole literally CANNOT win or lose, NOTHING is at stake. Someone is just going to walk away with a bunch of money at the end.

Lastly, I wish they would show more of the conversations between the characters so that we as viewers can feel closer to them and develop favorites etc. Nothing is at stake for the viewers either, because we don't get to care about the characters.

I am a huge fan of the original series: The mole Belgium (De Mol), that is running since 1998 and has 10 seasons and more to come.

Also I like the Dutch version (with celebrities), Wie is de mol? Which has done 20+ seasons.

Now I am enjoying this Netflix version set in beautiful Australia. The landscapes and locations are great, the group not so much. They are a bit to sporty, goodlooking and "in to it" for my taste. I would have loved a more diverse group, different body types etc.

The games and missions look very familiar is you're a The Mole Belgium fan, a lot is copied from season 9, which was set in Germany.

The part that's missing for me is the interaction between the contestants on location, that is we're the original series is so strong, you really live with the kandidates and can do your own mole search.

The second season of this show is undeniably better than the first. I hated the way the mole played in that one but this one was genius!!! I really hope they keep changing the location. I find that to be a really enjoyable part of the show!

The cast is awesome and everyone is deceitful and selfish which makes it incredibly hard but fun to guess who the Mole is! Your guess will probably change after every episode with the way these challenges go 🤣

What a fun show. I'm so happy that Netflix did a reboot of this. I never knew how much I missed this until I saw it on Netflix! Can't wait till the next season to see where they play next!

Loved every minute of this show.

What makes this show stand out from others is how engaged you get in it. Instead of passively watching, I found myself making notes during each episode.and got totally hooked into this world of trying to work out who the mole is. I don't believe it's obvious at all. My mind was changing with every episode and there were a few gasping in shock moments throughout.

The contestants are fun and have personality. The scenery is beautiful and the challenges are interesting and make you think. I don't watch much reality tv but this was my favourite by far. Really hope they make a 2nd season! Give it a go. You'll probably know by the end of the first episode if you'll like it or not.

The revival doesn't hold a candle to ABC's Season 1 & 2. I feel a lot of the cast members are caricatures and the production team's edits are very suspect (such as the countdown clocks, contestant confessionals, and how the missions are structured). In contrast to earlier seasons, we really don't get a full sense of the competitors' motivations. I really can't say that I'm rooting for any particular player to bring home the prize money. The show is a way to eat up my time; I'm not as fully engaged in it as I thought I would be. This is because very few of the missions are exciting. Many of the games have ambiguous rules or just seem downright impossible. I felt lost when I tried to make sense of some of them, especially the Detonator mission and the bank heist mission.

Alex Wagner is a fair host. She has a good mixture of motherly warmth and seriousness. I can't rate her as highly as host Anderson Cooper, who incidentally also is a journalist.

The aforementioned ABC seasons were set in France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and Monaco. This season in Australia simply doesn't have that same spark.

It's just another scripted reality show. Watch at your own leisure but be prepared to be let down.

As a huge fan of the original The Mole series, I was so excited to find out that Netflix brought it back. Of course, I was also worried that they would screw up the show like most reboots these days, but thankfully they didn't. The new host (Alex) is both enjoyable and fun, and the diverse set of contestants were all likeable and all suspicious at some points. Also, it was interesting how it was in Australia this time, which broadened the scope of the game. Unlike other reality shows, this show makes the viewers suspicious and play along, and the producers do a good job at throwing us in various directions to throw us in various directions.

I really do hope we get more seasons and that Netflix promotes this show more, because it's really well made and it's a fan favourite and I didn't even know it was back until a friend mentioned it.

My only feedback for (hopefully) next season - is I hope they get a better actor/actress for the Mole, and that they give the Mole some stake in the game as well (e.g. Maybe the money that's lost from the pot, actually goes to the Mole, which gives them better incentive to be more discrete and shady lol)

Great job Netflix, the producers and the cast!

First let me say I've come to love "reality" television - that while it's over-the-top at times, the sense that a real human is behind the screen draws me into their story. I also love spy shows and mysteries. So I was pumped about this show, and the first several episodes had me hooked. There were so many characters sabotaging, the Australian views were incredible, and there was a fun energy in the cast. Above all, I wanted to see if my prediction about the mole was right, so I kept watching.

But, a small missing piece grew into a gaping disconnect when I realized that 6 or 7 episodes in, I knew NOTHING about these people. I saw no footage of them interacting during down times that weren't missions or quizzes to see their personalities come to life. Their confessionals were SOLELY about the mole and the missions, nothing else, so I knew nothing about their lives outside of the game. We didn't get to watch them interact off-script, and that started to feel empty.

"The Mole" needed Survivor-esque moments where a player catches two people forming an alliance, or finds them plotting. What about times where characters get to read letters or watch video from their family? Why are these people on this show? The "real" drama was just missing here, as was character building. By the end, I found I didn't care who won the money. And once it became more obvious who the mole was, the show dragged - it appeared the contestants felt that as well.

I hope they continue and build the concept, but if it continues as only a game show without any "real" people or vulnerability, I don't see this lasting beyond another season.

Back in the day of roughly 20 years ago, two of my favorite shows on US TV were The Amazing Race and The Mole. While The Amazing Race has continued to have tremendous success for the past two decades, The Mole was sadly cancelled after only a few seasons. So I was pleasantly surprised to see it pop up on Netflix recently after not knowing ahead of time that it would be returning.

So how did it turn out? Overall I'm happy to say that it had plenty of intrigue and fun challenges. The contestants were hit and miss in terms of entertaining to watch, but that is true of all reality and game shows. There were some nice surprises along the way as well. Of course, nothing is perfect. The identity of The Mole became undeniably clear to me with about 3 episodes to go, and there were too many obviously scripted interviews with the contestants during each episode, particularly with contestants making mole accusations. I would have liked to have seen more natural interaction among the contestants in between challenges instead.

That said, it's hard to complain too much about what we got. Even with its flaws, this is still a far superior reality show compared to much of the trash reality shows that are on modern TV. It's not quite up to The Amazing Race standards, but then again that's not a realistic expectation. It's a quality season one reboot, and I'm hoping for another season with a few adjustments in the right direction to make season two even better.

I don't think it's bad. I do think they fall into some of the same pitfalls that plague so many other reality shows.

The weird thing is that this version is very clearly based on the latest Belgian run (some games are almost literal copies) but they don't quite get why that version is superior.

* You barely see people interacting when not playing a game.

* The constant skipping to the interviews/contestant voice overs make it seem very scripted. They need to limit those. Let the action and interactions speak for itself.

* Notebooks! Bring back the notebooks!

* Diversity. What you have is a group of people from a fairly narrow age range (25-40) who all look like they could start a modelling career and whose hobby is cross fit. Diversity is more than a bunch of attractive millennials with a different skin color. The Belgian runs have people between 18 and 50+. It's their personalities and different experiences that bring so much more to the game.

* I do like the use of cell phones instead of the large screen they use in the Belgian version.

* I didn't like the "ending on a cliffhanger" of the episodes. Why does everything have to end on a cliffhanger? Just finish after the selection. It destroys the pacing of the episodes because the elimination should be the emotional high point of the episode. Not the lead in.

* More of a personal note but the Belgian presenter, Gilles de Coster, has a very dry, factual way of interacting with the contestants during the games. I think that works better than Alex Wagner's.

If you want to see how good it can be, try and find the current Belgian version (especially series 9 (Germany) ).

Season 2 of The Mole is a massive improvement over the already solid first season-everything is dialed up to perfection! The challenges are more intense, the betrayals cut deeper, and the mind games will leave you second-guessing every contestant's move. Just when you think you've unmasked the mole, the show throws a curveball that sends you right back to square one. The unpredictability is what makes it so addictive!

The real heart of this season is Muna-an absolute powerhouse of charm, strategy, and wit. She's the kind of contestant you can't help but root for, whether she's outsmarting her rivals or bringing much-needed humor to tense moments. The entire cast is fantastic, with a mix of personalities that clash and collaborate in the best ways, but Muna steals the show effortlessly.

What sets this season apart is how well-balanced it is. The editing keeps you hooked without feeling manipulative, the missions are creative and high-stakes, and the mole's sabotage is subtle enough to keep debates raging long after each episode ends.

A must-watch for reality TV lovers!

I really hope someone in charge of making this series is reading this. I get that you choose selfish people for this show to make it interesting and also throw the viewer off but this is no longer a fun watch. Genuine people getting screwed over by a majority of selfish individuals that don't even care about the money! This game should be about winning, sure but also empathy and TEAM effort and respect. All of these shows only showing us how ugly people get in order to win- doesn't even matter whether there's money on the line or not... please cast less of the corporate screw over type. It's unfair und really sad to watch people who don't care about anything win this show at all costs. It hast potential but this is just a sad representation of human "nature" bred by a capitalist society.

I love nearly all competition reality shows including previous versions of The Mole and I'm usually an easy audience. I also worked for years as a reality tv and game show producer. With that said, this show is disappointing to me for two main reason.

First, it's an unusually unlikable cast. I'm struggling to find anyone to root for. The only person I like is the host.

Second, nearly all commentary throughout the show are just contestants accusing each other of being the mole for any reason. This would be fine if it felt sincere, but it doesn't. It's like the producers decided that constant, empty, accusations without substance would be an easy way to produce the show. It's exceptionally hollow...even by reality show standards.

I REALLY wanted to like this.

If I am being honest I am not someone to get invested in game shows. But this show was hands down one of the best game shows I have ever seen. My friend introduced it to me. I was invested. The show follows 12 contestants and takes place in beautiful Malaysia. Each day the contestants complete various tasks to add money to a prize pot except there is one player known as "The Mole". The Mole's goal is to take money out of the pot and sabotage tasks. At the end of the day they have to take a quiz with questions based around the mole. The person with the most wrong answers is sent home. This show had me, my friends, and family hooked. I remember when me and my friend sprinted from a festival to go to my house and watch the new episodes. I highly recommend The Mole, It takes you through a roller coaster of emotions and opinions.

No one saying "Who is...the Mole?"

It's okay. But missing some of the elements that made the first ones so great. A better host to amp the suspense. Where are their handy dandy little notebooks they were always writing in?! I remember them always writing notes in their little notebooks. Also the phones instead of a big screen is a bad choice. The huge screen was fun to see turn color.

Overall I am glad it is back. But don't ditch the things that made it so good the first time.

I really miss Anderson Cooper, though I get her has other things to do. But the host could really do a better job of saying things to build suspense, etc.

I work in sales and like reality TV shows to test my understanding of human behavior.

Most reality TV shows I watch are team sports with the audience solving who is going to work together and who isn't. The mole involves team dynamics too but is more an individual sport based on knowing who the mole is.

That means the players and the audience really have the same goal and are playing the same game.

That said, its pretty hard to catch someone in a lie, from what I've read we only have 50/50 odds on reading truthful behavior. Even if we catch the lie, someone could be pretending to be the mole and now we're trying to read intentions too. I believe the odds are against the audience figuring who the mole is. But its fun trying so I give this show 10/10.

Unfortunately, this reboot isn't a patch on the Australian version from the 2000s. Whilst very attractive, the cast blatantly ticks off boxes to attract/ repel certain demographics and are blandly portrayed (to their detriment). The over produced, slick vibe doesn't allow the viewer to feel like they're "working out" who the mole is but instead, careful editing tells us who we should be suspicious of. The Daintree setting is just gorgeous.; fingers crossed that more Australian communities recently damaged by flood and fire will be featured to bring more visitors to those areas. It's a great time to revisit "The Mole" but sadly the magic is lacking in this US version.

I normally hate reality shows or game shows but this was so engrossing I watched it within 2 days. I loved it! All the players were perfect for the show and it had me guessing the whole time. I constantly was changing who I actually thought the mole was. I need another season! I highly recommend watching this show if you need something to watch, are bored or love mystery/psychological shows! Best game show I have watched in years. The winner also deserved it, they put their all in every challenge. My favourite on the show was Joi, I won't spoil if she won or not or was the mole but she was the best!

It's hard to know whether some of these people are just ridiculously thick, or if they are the mole. You spend a lot of the time thinking "if there's only one mole, why did 2 people simultaneously make the dumbest possible choice?".

It's not scripted, but it's not entirely real either. Netflix keeps pumping out this sort of show, 70% reality, 30% people being told what to say or do, or at the very least being guided in a specific direction.

There's a specific challenge right near the beginning where it's clear the dude knew where to look for an object that really changed the game up. Without him finding it there would have been very little drama, and it just seemed implausible to me he would have found it unless told "go check over there" by a producer.

It's great fun, but infuriating at times. At one point there is entirely self destructive behaviour for absolutely no reason, and you do keep asking yourself "does anyone here actually deserve this money?". I started to really enjoy it once I started rooting for everyone to fail, which I'm not sure was the shows intention.

Having not watched The Mole before and not being that big on Reality shows I was pleasantly surprised by just how good this was. From the casting, production value, concept and intrigue, it really was great and worth a recommendation. Travelling around Australia was absolutely beautiful too!

A fantastic premise that will have you loudly guessing who The Mole is from start to finish and you won't know who it is till the very end.

Here's hoping we get another season with a similar budget. The on location filming really made this a spectacle for both Australia as a travel destination but also as a way to really emphasis the adventure they're all on.

I'm ready for season 2!

The Mole is a reality game show where contestants compete for cash prizes. Just one catch, there is a mole trying to sabotage missions. The mole doesn't win money, but the finalists who can identify the mole wins the cash pot.

It's addictive, I watched it in one day... mainly driven by the desire to know who is the mole. The contestant commentaries were well-balanced. The games ranged from great to average, some games were more entertaining to watch. The mole was kept off the radar snd got less commentary time, so perhaps future seasons can remedy that. The cliffhangers of the first few episodes were more effective, I felt. The contestants were a good blend of personalities, and didn't really have an a--hole standout unlike other reality shows... perhaps one or two might drive up the drama. A bit obvious, at times, as to what the show wants you to think. But all in all, well-played.

If you look up those so called contestants, half of them are legit actors. You can look it up yourselves right here on imdb. Has tv really got so bad that producers think people will just eat up every trash thats thrown at them. Where is the ambition?

Everything on this show feels so over the top and completely out of touch with how real people talk. Even the acting is just ridiculously bad. The audacity to think anyone would think this is okay just baffles me.

Hopefully canceling this show will show future producers that trying to use real people for a reality show might be worth the risk. Even tho the drama wont be as forced.

I was originally planning to hate watch this series because it was in Netflix top 10 and I was sure it would be like any other tv reality show, boring.

And... the first episode hooked me. I watched like 5 episodes until 4am because I couldn't stop (probably because of the cliffhangers). The concept is simple, each episodes have games played in teams, if they win the game, they had money to the pot. The catch is that a mole was chosen at the beginning of the show, and their goal is to lower has much as possible the pot money without getting caught. That's where sabotaging happens. After each episode, a quiz is taken about the mole, the person with the most wrong answers is eliminated. This goes on until there are 3 players, including the mole. The person that has the rightest answers about the mole wins the pot.

The games are fun, the elimination method was cool and there were little events between the actual big game of each episode so that the show wouldn't be too repetitive. The cast was ok, some were a little boring, some you would just simply hate, others you would root for, but the fact that there is a mole makes this way more interesting. Are they being nice to make others believe there in for the pot or are they genuinely hiding in plain site. Some players are also doing mole behaviors because it's better for them in the long run. But aare they doing it to keep their place in the game, or to lower the pot money.

It's great, I would recommend.

But... I'm actually curious on how the mole works. What are the advantages of sabotaging the mission, are they rewarded with money at the end for the money that they sabotage? If so, what's limiting them to just sabotage has much as possible since they cannot get eliminated from the show? Is it something like they get a part of the money they sabotage, but for each of the last contestant that identifies them, they lose a part?
