Finding Magic Mike

This show was so much more heartfelt and inspiring than I thought it would be! It's so sweet and so awesome watching the contestants grow through the season. The people who left bad reviews obviously didn't understand the point of the show!

Binge watched the entire series in one afternoon. This show was so much more than I thought it was going to be about. It's more than just taking off their clothes, it's about their personalities, characters and lives.

There, I said it. This show made me fall in love with every single contestant and I genuinely cried when they left, especially towards the end. This show consists of the realest people out there forreal. You will see transformations, huge life lessons, and such strong bonds being formed amongst men. Every single person had to face their insecurities, sense of self worth, and put themselves out there in a way we are all scared to do. I don't know if this show was intended for women but I feel like men would have so much to gain from watching this show. Oh and also it's AMAZING to watch the performances, had me grinning the whole time. This season genuinely made me happy and filled my heart.

No spoiler to let you know: Channing Tatum does NOT make an appearance in the show he co-produced. Which is based on the films he produced. Which are, you know, based on HIS life. The guys are hot, though & interesting. And there's some solid reality-competition drama. Do feel like COVID foreshortened this 1st. Planned season.

I watched the first episode with a bit of hesitation because I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. I ended up being both pleasantly surprised and immediately hooked. All reality shows tend to be heavily edited and scripted to control the narrative. FMM came across as refreshingly honest.

The title would have you believe they were searching for the next person to star in the Las Vegas Magic Mike Live show. That wasn't the case. I loved seeing the bond form between the contestants as they all struggled to challenge themselves and grow.

IMO, ignore the 1-star reviews and give this show a chance. I hope they do another season.
