Being a show done in English yet majority of it being in Japanese with needing to read subtitles already lost me I feel I can't really follow a show if I'm constantly reading subtitles so this just felt like I was watching some foreign movie on Netflix without having a dubbed option.

I really should have just dropped it after the first few episodes, as it was just boring to me hardly anything happens. I managed to sit through the whole season though thinking it might get better well it does not, there is only a few action scenes in each episode and the rest as I already said is just reading subtitles as the dialogue is in Japanese. I don't see the hype at all with all episodes having an average rating of 8+, and it being renewed for another two seasons. Totally over rated.

I was recommended this show because apparently the stuff the contestants do are crazy. After watching all the episodes i don't think anything was that out of the ordinary apart from the first challenge maybe being the most brutal, 1 on 1 death match. Also rolling the 100kg boulder repeatedly uphill was made to look easy but i'm sure it wasn't lol.

I didn't hate the show but with 100 contestants starting the show and death match continuing over 3 episodes got boring quickly also there was too much endurance challenges dragging out each ep. Hold on to this until failure is just a snooze fest after a minute or so.

One more thing the editing gets so annoying with so many lines being repeated 3-4 times like showing a replay but it was just the same cut over and over.

Hard to give this show overall anything higher than a 6.
