A lot of those obstacles are taken straight out of the Finals Stages of Sasuke/Ninja Warrior... Thankfully I'm a big Ninja Warrior Fan (UK version excluded - they ballsed that up big time... Typical Brits ruining everything ), so I'm in.

Drops this Friday.

Gets very repetitive very quickly. Might just skipl to the final.

Ultimately Disappointing...

Wasn't a fan of any of the hosts (and I love Terry Crews in most things he does). At first I thought racking up points over speed was an interesting twist on the format, but soon realised there's a reason all the other shows go for time (it's far more entertaining to watch). The obstacles themselves were a bit meh. And there really weren't enough contestants or countries involved.

Why I decided to sit through the entire season is a mystery...

Mr E

Watched 20 minutes in bed on Friday night and fell asleep. I'm not inclined to go back...

Agent Coulson

Watched the first episode and it wasn't great not sure I can sit through 9 more of them so I think I will just skip to the last episode and see the final.

I actually enjoyed it. The final in particular is great as you've got the best there competing against each other. The semi final and final phase of the last episode are probably the two best parts of the show along with the final of the 1st episode.

It's nowhere near as good or polished as American Ninja Warrior though, which is what it's basically ripping off anyway, and the contestants on ANW are much better in general.

In general they are, however, there are too insane contestants on UBM who get to the final. Both are absolute freaks

If anyone fancies taking part they are casting in the UK for season 2.

If I was 20 years younger I would.
