Amazing Athletes but Disappointing Production

**This is just my opinion. I appreciate all the hard work that went into the making of this series. Thank you.**

I love this series because I get to see amazing talents that I never would get to other wise. I really enjoyed it, despite my disappointment with the production side of it.

I don't know what I was expecting. I guess it had been long enough since I'd watched the second season of Physical 100 that I'd forgotten what to expect. I just don't understand how Netflix can be so cavalier when it comes to something as important as their contestants health and safety. I nearly called them people. That's what they are but for the sake of me getting my point across, I'll call them contestants. Anyway, as I was saying... I have issues with the fact that Netflix did not have medical staff on standby at all times during the extremely grueling physical challenges that these athletes participated in. I was seriously worried several times that some of them were going to keel over from a heart attack or stroke due to over exertion. They were very clearly in great distress but no one checked on them.

Then there are questions as to how fair it actually was. The rules were not transparent, they changed mid-game, some unsportsmanlike behavior and (only) one team had to repeat a challenge because of an equipment malfunction.

I'm torn as to what rating to give the series. I think that the athletes deserve a 10 out of 10. I'm scoring it lower because if I don't, Netflix will think that they are doing a great job like they are and won't feel the need to change anything.
