The Quest

A few people don't remember that this is not a new show. The Original concept for the show came out back in 2014 on ABC.

Then it was 12 people with the contestants aging from 19 to 40.

In the history of mankind there have been several epic falls from grace: Lucifer's Fall, Highlander 2, Lost Boys 2 & 3. Eclipsing even the Morning Star, burned into humanities psyche is The Quest 2022.

As all of you most certainly know The Quest 2014 was an amazing fantasy competition that combined LARPing with reality TV. The 2022 Disney+ reboot was as tragic as the Two Corey's last film Lost Boys: The Thirst and a non-sequitur on par with Highlander 2.

A few details: Changing the show from a LARP competition among Survioresque candidates, to entitled young adults spouting aphorisms. The challenges that once were actually challenging and interesting, became trivial and even worse entirely faked. Character development (good or bad, influenced or not) which is a backbone of competition and reality stories was replaced by middle school acting with a bad script.

In short, I've seen it and I curse my eyes. Don't follow my path.

The bad reviews are likely grown adults. I could see this as a positive show for young children. Not scary, positive messaging (team work, wisdom, perseverance). Lots of fun makeup and corny characters.

The biggest challenge of this show was to actually sit through it.

Hammy, wooden acting.

Tropes and jokes that never land.

A mish mash and rehash of tales already told with better direction and effects.

I'm sorry but i can't recommend, i wanted to like this so much, as i'm a huge fan of the Fantasy genre, but this was unwatchable.

Get a different director and try again is about all i can say.

I was surprised. Started of rocky but ended up bringing the whole thing in 1 day.

Yes it is cheesy but it is a teen show with teen doing challenges, you can't make it like survivor level hard.

If you like fantasy and always wanted to be immersed in a fantasy world, you'll enjoy it.

I'd pay to be able to through an adult version of this ❤
