The Challenge: Australia (2022)

Copy & Paste

[5/10 · 22 November 2022]

Boring...challenges are all copied from the original United States version.

No issues with the contestants or the presenter in general but anyone who is a fan of the original show will agree that there is no originality in the Aussie version. Was excited to see this is expanded globally but what a shame. Will continue to watch hoping they prove me wrong later on otherwise I don't think there is much hope for more seasons. Contestants act like the challenges are a surprise to them when I am sure they have all seen the last couple of United States seasons in preparation and know exactly what to expect.

Honest Thief (2020)

Typical Good Liam Neeson Film

[7/10 · 5 October 2020]

You always know what you are going to get with a Liam Neeson film...good acting, good action and an hour or two of very watchable entertainment. Nothing less, nothing more. This is no different, but nothing wrong with that either. Look past the cringes, somewhat predictability of a theme done multiple times before and enjoy Liam Neeson doing what he does best (with Kate Walsh delivering a stellar performance as well).

Flinch (2019)

For the laughs

[6/10 · 1 August 2019]

Not amazing, no prize money and feels forced when the presenters are acting like they haven't seen a challenge before even if it was used in the previous episode/s, but it does deliver a good laugh now and then if you are not too serious about it.
