Le défi des titans

Shows like this can be fun to watch. I only wish they'd cut out the usual seen it all before hype, flash and flare and over the top pictures and videos of the contestants. Just get on with the competition.

This is an hour long show with 8 minutes of action. The sets are outrageous, the challenges underwhelming, there are 4+ announcers for no apparent reason. The focus is on the characters and their personal lives rather than the competition and at the end of the day I just don't understand what they are going for. Is this a human interest reality show, or is this a Gladiators clone?

The reality is that it is neither and it is so overproduced that it is almost unwatchable. The contests are poorly conceived so that the outcome is clear within seconds which renders the competition boring, and it is difficult to get invested in characters when they are dispensed with in one or two competitions which last less than 2 minutes each.

This needs a lot of work and should have a much lower budget.

Way too much talk and backstory, not enough action. The hosts are simply terrible.

Granted the obstacles are unique but they are so contrived that in no way to do they accurately showcase how athletic these people are. Winning is just as much or more about luck as you couldn't possibly train or practice to become good at these.

What an awesome event! The Titan Games is positive and uplifting...incredible stories of every day hardworking people. A true display of athletic ability, heart, and power! Show is amazing 👍 good job! NBC & Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

The show 90's kids needed. It's a little bit of Global Guts, a little bit of American Gladiators, a little bit of Legends Of The Hidden Temple, and a lot of fun.
