We were hoping for a fun, different take on American Ninja Warrior. This show was 95% padding about the competitors and the design of the challenges, and 5% the actual challenges. The Rock, one of the most charismatic presences in the world, is just window dressing here.
There is zero sense of fun in this show.
The competitors do not even all do the same challenges. Seems to be luck of the draw as to who does what.
Some of these challenges look very dangerous. I think one guy hurt his leg pretty bad on a slide into a wall. He wasn't interviewed after.
Super lame. The tapes should all be sent to Titan, Saturn's moon, so that humans are no longer subjected to this show.
