Million Dollar Mile

Definitely a lesser effort compared to American Ninja Warrior, or even The Rock's Titan Games.

One huge difference, the obstacles seem to be located away from the crowd. With the above two shows the crowd is much closer to the action, and is better able to cheer on the contestants. You lose a lot of that energy here.

Also, the obstacles lack in imagination, looking like pale copies of ones from ANW.

The muted color scheme also works against the show, with the LED collars the runners wear making them look odd.

Update - after I wrote this review I found this:

"The show will be moving to Saturday nights beginning May 4th at 8 p.m. ET/PT"

This is the current slot where they are showing new episodes of the show Ransom, which may have run its course by that time.

The show can be pretty predictable as the defenders are world class obstacle course athletes competing against former high school heroes but it is still pretty entertaining. Barring a defender getting injured mid course, I would be shocked if anyone ever won the $1 million. Fun to watch though

Who knew? Turns out The Running Man was a documentary.

Great show definitely worth watching it. At first I thought it would be pretty easy to win that one million dollars by getting that two min head start but damn these defenders make it look so easy catching up to them

Million Dollar Mile is just what you will get if you toke the wipeout commentators and aded it to Ninja Warrior and got the sad stores from that all game shows that's why they the need the money. the show has a pro athlete but because the participant lardy are Simi pro athlete it not fun to watch. The only resin the show is on tv is because they can use LeBron James name.
