Season 1 Review: There is entertainment value in all of this, even if it’s the kind of entertainment that makes you feel kind of grimy while watching it. .... Many of the challenges aren’t that dissimilar from those you might see on Survivor or Wipeout. Most of them have darker psychological elements that force contestants to test the limits of their own selfishness, often turning the show into what feels like a high-stakes social experiment.

Season 2 Review: As much as it hopes to smarten up its act, Beast Games feels like the TV equivalent of the sad Christmas fair where an ailing horse is given some antlers and told to look lively. It is fairly cruel, sure, but it’s also incredibly turgid – and maybe that’s worse. Read full review

Season 1 Review: True, there is something weirdly compelling about Beast Games, but it is compelling in the same way that picking a scab is. It exists solely to show us the worst of the human condition, as obnoxiously as possible. Read full review
