Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) A mostly unenjoyable and often disagreeable gamification of late-era capitalism... The gameplay is dull, the philosophy bilious. Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Stuart Heritage Guardian 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. Rated: 2/5 Dec 23, 2024 Full Review Randy Meeks Espinof …'Beast Games' is as if an over-the-top ten-year-old boy had seen [Squid Game] and thought "I can do better". [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media The game can get intense, and people are shown arguing, yelling, and crying out of anger and frustration during the competition, which doesn't set a great example for younger viewers. Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider The second episode shows that the game will start getting really fun as we get down to a manageable group of contestants, and a lot of that is thanks to the enthusiasm of MrBeast and his hoodie-wearing buddies. Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba A pathetic, sweaty, dystopian trainwreck. Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Ron M Most game shows make a point to let you know who the contestants are so that you can root for them. In this show, you have to take Jimmys word for it as though he's the gatekeeper of whether or not someone is a good person. This show is so chopped up and remanufactured that it's impossible to know if these contestants are actually playing a game or if theyre just acting out roles while being directed to say whatever Jimmy tells them to. This is the most disengenuous show I've ever watched. It isn't a game show and it isn't reality TV. Its an over-produced TV series with bad characters, bad writing and a terrible plot. Jimmy watched Squid Game then made a product that is supremely inferior to it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Yury V its not reality show its just compilation of youtube videos but you need amazon prime subscription to watch them Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Ben W The high audience score to low critic ratio makes me think the boy has payed people to rate it highly... Terrible show, go watch a documentary on the Roman Republic or the jungles of Congo, not this nonsense nothing tv. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Itsa P Every time someone was offered a bag to leave, it was statistically 100% in their favor to grab it since you probably end up with $0 before taking expected value into consideration. Every time you could sacrifice yourself, it made no sense to do so. Also the production company seems like it'll be underwater with all the complaints and lawsuits around before this even aired, so that's a thing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Audience Member It feels like getting a lobotomy Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Audience Member This show can only be enjoyed if you turn off any sense of critical thinking and let the flashing lights and over-the-top editing satiate you. You shouldn't be able to put a high-saturation filter over late-stage capitalism and sell it as a multi-million dollar partnership with Amazon. Where does fun end and parasitism begin? MrBeast has packaged and sold clips of people ruining each other's lives just to be able to pay their medical bills and send their children to college. It's sickening and entirely symptomatic of the pure dystopia the first world is hurtling towards. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
