The insipid Mr Beast is joined by a rotating cast of flunkies – apparently regulars on his YouTube channel. There is little danger of them overshadowing their boss, however, as they get hardly any screen time. Nor do the contestants, who we meet in a dizzying blur of fast edits. The focus is almost entirely on Donaldson.

It’s largely dull and without much of anything to get invested in, relying on constantly shouting at us about the stakes while frenetic editing slices everything to pieces. It’s about what you’d expect from an ever-hustling spectacle merchant like MrBeast, but that only makes it all the more exhausting to take in.
