Limitless

Chris Hemsworth is very personable and watchable. And that's a good thing because a lot of detail is missed in making this high production series photogenic. The experts are wasted, in my view.

Each episode starts with a challenge to illustrate the issue. Such as managing stress, fasting or cold water. That days expert is introduced. A beautiful graphic, in pop-up book style, shows the supposed benefit. Then there is a very superficial "preparation" shown. Chris does the challenge to dramatic music. There may also be vignettes of a tribe or religious monks who practice the discipline but no explanation of whether they will benefit.

So the program cheats the audience twice. The challenge is exactly that. A challenge. For example the stress of the week was to walk along a high crane. So Chris got some coaching from a psychologist. I wanted to hear more from her. The cheat was that this did not address the real killer stress whichever is the long, grinding lifestyle kind. Work mostly. But also family, finance and environment.

The second cheat was the supposed preparation. I believe Chris did the work. But it was not shown. So the cold water swim, another challenge, had a a tiny bit on acclimation. Some surfing in a fjord. There is some evidence of benefits, and it would have been nice to see Chris increasing his exposure gradually. As I'm sure he did.

However, if this gets people interested then it will be a good thing.

Great mix of what all these producers put together. Documentary of science combined with big time action actor. Love the cinematography, build up of story and sound combined with the challenges and openness.

It's like watching real life training to be invincible. Chris did it all. Very impressed. I couldn't do these tests. Surprised we haven't seen other actors show their training like this. Makes a ton of sense and is quite entertaining. Love that Chris brought his pals along for the ride.

I don't want to give much away but I think this was done real well and I still have 35 characters to write...

We need more shows like this. It was educational, entertaining, used a host I already knew, and the footage was breathtaking. There experiments that feel corny at the moment, but the stunts are a means an to an end. It is absolutely all about the content in between the stunt scenes.

Chris shows how taking oneself seriously is far more important than getting initial praise. Time and time again he leads by example while his friends/colleagues drop out of individual challenges. The show also provides tips at the end of each episode to show how you could incorporate the new life hacks into your own routine.

Some episodes (naturally) interested me more then others, but there all beautifully shot, beautiful landscapes. The information bits inbetween are well done, informative, interesting and bite sized. Chris's voice over and narration is great.

Chris in this in general is funny, and brings his friends on these crazy rides. The episodes I've seen even inspired me to think about these aspects of health. Like I said the cinematography is great, and the episodes have this theme where they show a different story of someone else that compliments the main story, this really makes this fresh. One episode kind of made me feel being on a an adventure and wanting to try to embrace the cold aswell a bit more.

Would recommend giving this show a watch, even if you end up enjoying some episodes more than others.

Most inspiring series I have watched ever I think. I hope everyone takes the time to watch it on Disney plus. Really makes you think and appreciate life and the memories. And it really motivated me to exercise more, fast longer and live life love life. Thanks Chris you are truly a great human I hope you and Elsa live very long healthy lives with your family. Your heart your strength your endurance your love for family and friends was so genuine and inspiring. I truly believe this experience will definitely make your life and others that watch it lives Much longer much calmer much happier and definitely more appreciative of every moment they have here in this earth. I don't have much family and I hope I find the love you have in your life because with love you can truly endure anything in this life and into the next. Cheers. Kandis in Texas.
