Fight to Survive (2023)
Cool new survival series (finally)!
I stumbled on to this series on the Roku app while I was digging around for new stuff during the holidays. I watched all eight episodes. I think it is great. It has an interesting mixture of legit survival skills (including hunting!). But it also has the survivalists fighting over resources - which I've never seen before. They do it in a cool way. Basically if somebody has water or food, then another person can physically challenge them for it. Then they go into a primitive arena in the center of the island and face off for the resource. It actually gets a bit violent at times - which I hate to admit, is really fun to watch. It's not violent like UFC or boxing. It's more like wrestling, but they are wrestling for food or water!
Alone (2015)
really fun to watch them build their shelters
At first I was skeptical of this series because the cast members were given so many tools in order to help them survive. I mean if you can bring a tool box full of stuff, then how hard could it be to survive. But I have to say that I've changed my tune after watching more seasons. The long period of time that the cast of this series has to stay in the wild necessitates the large number of tools that they bring with them. And the tools really do help them to build some super cool shelters. I mean some of these people build cabins that they could sell for thousands of dollars if they owned the land. Really entertaining stuff!
Naked and Afraid (2013)
this show is the real deal
I'm new to IMDB. I usually just review tv shows with my friend group via text thread. But I decided to join IMDB so that I can share my opinions with a wider audience. I feel like a lot of people get caught up in the nudity on this series. But the truth is that these people really do have to survive with barely any resources. Even if they had clothes, it would be very difficult to survive where they are dropped. The lack of food and clean water is huge. The lack of tools to build shelter with is huge. In my opinion, surviving on this show is much harder than surviving on other reality survival series. For that reason, I really like the series!
