Jul 30, 2023I grew up watching this show and found this insider's look into the exploits and exploitation that occurred behind the scenes an interesting watch. The Gladiators came from diverse backgrounds and collaborated on something truly new to television competitions, paving the way for the athletic entertainment genre to follow through tremendous personal sacrifice.

The personality-forward approach to the storytelling makes every episode exceptionally compelling, humanizing the God-like figures of our childhood.

It’s five episodes that feel truth-adjacent more than true. If the 30 for 30 film was about a quest for some elusive truth, however far afield it takes you, the Netflix documentary is about embracing the tall tale even if it feels reductive or simplistic.
