Human Playground

Love the quality of the show, and the feeling of being connected worldwide through sports. We may look different on the surface, but the emotion in which we practice sport is remarkably the same everywhere. The pace of editing makes the series fresh and keeps you in the rhythm of the show. Loved the Fjerleppen item, as well as the surfing of the big wave in Portugal. The DOP with some wonderful touches all across the series. Hoping to see more of this kind of content from Netflix in the future. Sports are universal and connects us who we are as humans on this beautiful strange planet .Enjoyed the series very much.

This is the first time in my life that i review a tv series on IMDB. Actually, the first time in my life that I review a show ever. But I had to review this show somewhere. This show literally promotes animal abuse, glorifies it and show it as sport. This show made me very sick to the stomach. Make a favor to all the animals on the show and animals everywhere, and remove this show. BAN IT. Instead, take the same frames and narrate the abuse and suffering that these animals have to endure in their lifetime for the sake of sadistic "sports". Its basically people who are trying to show off their masculinity through abusing animals and make money off of them.

Absolutely amazing show. Watch the entire series all at once. Really touched me. I loved the ice diving part and how she uses extreme sport and going through the physical pain to deal with her mental pain. So inspiring. Idris Elba his voice is insanely beautiful and also the cinematography is absolutely outstanding. It felt like travelling the world myself and getting to know all these people and sports is humbling and impressive. A big shout out to the team for creating this beautiful worth watching documentary series on Netflix. What an accomplishment. I can't wait to see what is more to come from these filmmakers and director Tomas Kaan.

Nice narration by Idris and some nice camera work.

Done in 10 min segments of each item making it easy to dip in/out of or spin through for some of the less appealing ones.

And I did spin on some. I question some of the items come under playground. There were some obvious elements of pier pressure under the guise of tradition. I would prefer to review items where participants were not forced or coerced into it or coping with what appeared substantial mental trauma.

To be clear, a playground is something you enter under your own free will to test your skill set perhaps to include risk to life and limb.

A very great series and just LOVE IDRIS HIS VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so amazed by the fact that people are really facing their boundaries to reach their goals and the mental game that people play with themselves motivates me to start doing sports again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooo I just 10000000% recommend watching this series. Absolut a MUST for all people. And Idris is such an amazing person to be the ambassador of this project. An example in the sports world.......... for everybody that wants to educate themselves and likes to watch something more relevant about the world: GO AND WATCH HUMAN PLAYGROUND.
