SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

mapofmyuniverse Season 3- Pay attention to the sexist bragging asshole, put said asshole in power, add other extremely weak complicit male idiots to support the sexist bragging asshole, discount the contribution of females, and produce a crappy TV show. Doesn't that sound exactly like the story of Trump? Then, introduce a muscular male with borderline personality disorder. So eager to NOT step up and openly discount females, but very eager for others to know about his terrible past to gain sympathy so he is not responsible. The show could be good without the desperate craving and decision making aimed at pissing people off to get ratings. You suck.

Alecs Serban I haven t seen the other series but judging by the first episodes I'm like: " is this thing for real" A lot of times seems like is following a script. I highly doubt human body can survive and perform tasks in that heat with 300-500 cal a day. How do those people survive for so many days? They lack of basic survival skills. Building shelter hole day without water supply on a 40C heat.. They have lakes/river but can't catch fish..Shane cant make a fire with a flint or catch fish with a basket?Jesus.. who picked those guys and who rated them? And then Dani and Alana they're so lazy.. Not mentioning that first priority should be covering your genitals as they are the most prone to infections and bites etc, especially for women. Chris and Luke started well but then proved 0 skills in hunting and fishing. The only ones that actually do something is EJ and Jeff.And seriously, why do they have to be naked? Even neanderthals had some sort of clothes made of animal skins and plants.

starmanmatt I loved the early seasons of the original Naked and Afraid because they taught honest survival skills. That slowly got scarified in favor of more forced drama as the show went on before culminating in Naked and Afraid XL, where they allowed clearly unqualified contenders to return and set about trying to push their buttons.Case in point: Shane, the so-called "Alpha Male". In his first challenge, he broke his foot and spent most of the challenge being nursed by his partner (a wilderness survival skills teacher) as he whined about how women have no business trying to make it in the wild that everyone under 30 is useless.So who do they pair him with? A twenty-something vegetarian EMT and a tough-as-nails Texas rancher who was the first person to survive the original 21 day challenge solo. The two of them disprove his theories about how everything is supposed to work just by existing and he starts having a nervous breakdown almost immediately, because these two women don't consider his whining about being abandoned as a child and bragging about being told it was a miracle he wasn't a serial killer by his shrink to be a turn-on. The sick thing is that his fans started sending rape and death threats to these two women IRL as the show was going on, after Shane abandoned them, went off on his own, proved incapable of constructing his own shelter and so incompetent that he couldn't make a fire. The women did just fine without him and no F***s were given when he came back, with no apology, and said he had decided they should work together.The same thing happens with the high-strung Honora - the one returning survivalist who didn't succeed on the original Naked and Afraid. She gets paired with two arrogant men used to doing things their own way, who know full well that Honora washed out on her first challenge and treat her every suggestion with derision. It's around the fifth episode that the show's editing becomes clear, as a group of two men "just happen" to come by at that moment and welcome Shane into their group. And all seems well and good... until the bromance is ruined as another group of five contenders show up, half-starved, just after they made their first successful kill.Now, ignoring that four of the people in these two groups had appeared together in previous challenges (Eva/Jeff and Laura/EJ) and that there is no reaction to these former partners seeing each other... what are the odds that this group of five people showed up at that moment? About the same as EJ and Jeff showing up to save Shane from the mean girls, I reckon.And that's ignoring how neatly butchered all the eels that Jeff "caught" seem to be and how Jeff is suddenly some kind of master hunter, despite being utterly incompetent in his first challenge, where most of the food was caught by his partner Eva. Of course devout Mormon Jeff took credit for her success, crediting his praying while trash-talking feminists. There's a lot of things that don't add up and the show was clearly edited to paint certain people as heroes and villains, with Shane being painted as heroic and self-sacrificing as he climbs a tree to gather fruit for his starving teammates while Honor is painted as an idiot for trying the same thing. (For the record, truly selfless people do not talk to a camera about how God is blessing them for being selfless.)What's really vexing is how the final Team of Six get written off as lazy and selfish when they're the ones who practiced smart, real survival techniques while everyone else was wandering around the woods failing to hunt or showboating for the camera. I will give credit to EJ, however, for noting on his social media that there was a lot more sharing between the two camps than the show depicted and indeed he singled out Alana and Danielle for sharing their fruit rations with him and Jeff in exchange for the eel - something that was cut from the show entirely because it would have destroyed any attempt to make the selfish veggie girls look evil.

stevejohnpeel The very last episode of Naked and Afraid season 2, brought the whole thing crashing down for me. I actually enjoyed the show before that. Watching a bunch of self-centered big-headed so called survivalists, fail and give up at the first feeling of pain or hardship, was real entertainment.But then came that last episode, redemption. And oh dear, I now not only hated the show, but I also seemed to harbor resentment for having watched all those episodes, only to be let down that way at the end.Yes, in my opinion, the people are looked after pretty well, the show doesn't want anyone to die after all. But really, most of them would have died in reality.But why do I relate the last shows to the new XL you ask? Well, the last show of season 2 of Naked and Afraid, the brought a one of the contestants back who lasted just a few days because of bugs, to redeem herself, and with the help of the show, they attempt to show that she does just that. But the show took us for fools as usual.The problem with this new show it, that they have brought people back from Naked and Afraid. Why?????? Why would they do such a thing after making such a mess of the last show. I can't believe it. Seriously, I actually tried to watch this first episode, thinking I was being a bit too harsh, but not, I wasn't being too harsh, I wasn't actually being harsh enough.Bad news on this new series, which could have been so much more.
