I have seen Mr. Beast's shows in the past and they were never really that interesting to me, so I was reluctant to watch this show at first. This show is different and is much more edgy. It keeps you watching and is much more enjoyable to watch than network TV's "competition shows" that started the genre. I would liken it to the entertainment version of favorite brand of nacho cheese chips. You can't live off of them alone, but sometimes you just need 'em and might just finish a family size bag in the process.
