I watched the latest episode of a Beast Games last night.. as 9 people chose themselves to compete to win a $1.8million island.
I’ve seen criticism in the press about this show. But I don’t agree with any of it.
It’s a masterclass in keeping things moving, with a clever blend of psychology and skill that does not slow.
The latest episode starts off with Navy seals hunting down the nine, until one is caught. This is very similar to the uk show ‘hunted’.. then it switches to various psychological games, including bringing back the other contestants to whittle down the remaining 8 to just 2.
Then the final game to win the $1.8 million is played out with 2.. and has a psychological angle.
You can see when the money has gone. It’s all on screen.
And probably the most successful transition of a YouTube show to a high end streaming tv show yet.
Is anyone else enjoying this series?

It’s like they booked him.. he didn’t work..but couldn’t cut around him. So they tried to make a joke of it.
The show is epic.. and beyond the means of most uk terrestrial broadcasters.
And as the amount of contestants is whittled down.. we’re gonna get to know them as viewers.. as the games get more psychological.
I was impressed.
