Physical: 100 (2023– )
8/10
Squid Games For Fitness Gurus
11 April 2024
A huge knock-out competition of 100 professioal atheletes and gym rats combined together for the ultimate showdown!

It's not a lot more than that. The participents are hugely respectful of each other on the way to reach the grand total prize monies of 300 million SK won!

They showcase extreme physical and mental capabilities to compete and gain trust and relationships with competitors.

Team games are mixed and the demographic is more men than women but it is nice to see women in the show but I thought more could have been done for women to be included in series one!

I liked how a lot of national Korean olympians were representing themselves. It's difficult for them to make an income without sponsorship so this is an ideal opportunity to cover income for training and other idealologies.

For me the show was a lot of fun with mixed challenges and extremely difficult events which would only exhaust a normal human being.

These people are super tough and strong and exceeded themselves in many challenges. There is also a degree of intelligence used to participate in many tasks so to overcome the challenges you needed to be not only displined in your body but your mind.

It's nicely shot and well staged. There was no abundunce of cgi apart from the mind unit and this was very refreshing. The stages were real-life items and largely extremely heavy objects which required corporation with others to succeed.

I don't want to give the game away but this show was excellent and a thoroughly enjoyable watch. I'm not muc of a fitness guru geek myself but I found it very rewarding to watch an I salute the heroes of the games with their respected disciplines. I'll look out for them in the Olympics as well.

Excellent tv! 8/10.
