Heracin

The production team really managed to renew this tv show by making it a team competition between countries. It felt more interesting and balanced, as each team had the same number of female and male participants. There were also less participants which make it more easy for sharing screen time, as most of them have a bit of it.

They also brought up some fun mini challenges and moments making it more easy to observe the various dynamics between and within the teams. The esthetics with some of the challenges being arbitrated by people in Korean costume was also on point.

That being said, even if they improved a lot compared to the past season, the finale felt underwhelming and I would have loved to see even more variety in the type of physical competitions as those were mainly featuring strength. I would have loved to see also more one-to-one face off and more cultural moments given the variety of teams present.

I would recommend this to people that enjoyed the previous seasons, as this one has definitely improved on some of the elements that were a bit frustrating in the past, like the unbalance between team challenges. I'm really hopeful we get a new season of it !
