When I first saw this show I was shocked by how much I loved it. I don't even like reality tv shows that much, but this series was an exception. If you like the show squid game, then this show is for you. (Except without the dying part.) It has quests and challenges that the contestants have to complete no matter their age, gender, etc. These challenges and quests are physically exhausting and hard, but it's to see overall who is the best out of 100 contestants. I liked this concept, and I like how the show gave multiple contestants the chance to showcase their unique abilities. You will have certain contestants you like and others you aren't fond of. The challenges have you on the edge of your seat. Yes, you may feel frustrated by certain scenes, and you will definitely have favorites who you root for and want to win.

One of the things I hated about the series was the editing. I noticed that as you're watching the show, the editors want you to sort of focus on certain people from the beginning. Some of the other contestants barely got screen time and at certain points, I was confused about who was eliminated or who certain people were who were shown only in the finale or the very beginning to never be seen again. They also didn't really introduce everybody from the start of the first episode, and some people in the series were majorly forgotten about. I just don't like how the show wants you to root for certain contestants without fairly showing off some of the forgotten contestants. I just think it's really unfair, but what do you expect from a reality show?

Another thing I hated was how much contestants were underestimated, this isn't the show's fault but it was annoying to see. This mainly happened in team challenges and many would underestimate contestants with smaller builds than them or if they were female then the assumption would be that they aren't strong enough. With this part, I might be looking too far into it, but this part irritated me so much because there were many times when people proved the opposing teams wrong that looked down on them.

Don't get me wrong, I do still love this series which is why I rated it high despite those cons. The music wasn't memorable, and I wouldn't rewatch this since I already know who gets eliminated in the quests and who wins the show. I do recommend watching if you can look past those elements and just enjoy watching the challenges and quests.
