Fun, Corky & Nostalgic!
28 June 2023
For those of us who grew up during the era in which this show aired, the nostalgia comes rushing in whilst watching this new series documenting American Gladiators.

I'll admit I was smiling through and through whilst watching this series. Initially, I hadn't even noticed my facial expression till the moment I happened to glance over at the mirror near the television and that's when I had decided I should actually write a review.

This is only my 2nd review ever -despite being on IMDb for 10+ years. Now was the original American Gladiator my favorite show? Not even close. Is this series my new favorite? Nope. But all-in-all, the telltale sign was that I enjoyed it so much that I was actually smiling and wasn't dreadfully checking to see how much longer till it's over (we all know how disappointing that feeling is when you realize something you're watching has let you down).

This series was made with the viewer in mind, which isn't so common nowadays. It's fun and exciting. What you'll really enjoy is that the episodes are short and sweet.

Too many productions have been packing shows and documentaries with fillers and B-roll just to extend them which leaves the viewer annoyed. This series, however, did the right thing, which was to get to the point but to tell the story in a fun way.

Give it a go!

Amazing!!!!!

This movie is a must see! It's warm, clever, heartfelt and a tearjerker. You will be sucked in immediately. It's one of those rare movies that takes you along for the ride and makes you feel like you're apart of the journey. You wind up so interested that you can watch the entire movie in silence and not want to turn off the television or even press pause. As the movie progresses, it feels like you are getting to know the characters and that they are real and their stories, backgrounds as well as their lives sync perfectly as the movie goes along only to conclude harmoniously as the cherry-on-top. Make some popcorn and enjoy because you won't want to get out of your seat once you press play!
