We Are the Champions

A refreshing, uplifting show that has come out just as we are all getting fed up with bad news in 2020. I like the way it celebrates all these quirky people and doesn't make fun of them. This show is sincere but still tongue-in-cheek and very entertaining to watch. It's not really about competitions, it's about passionate, interesting people. Really good viewing and just what we need right now.

Great antidote to the lockdown blues, pacey, fun and lighthearted. Don't take any notice of reviews from those who take their 'communities' too seriously! Watch it for what it is and smile 😊

After watching the trailer, I told my husband we should definitely watch this show because for sure we would "pee" ourselves laughing. To my surprise what I expected to be an hilarious show, turned out to be such a lovely story about different dreams, life purposes an out of the ordinary ride to the passions of other people. Instead of laughing out loud, I found myself cheering for pretty much everyone who appeared in each episode. The narrator (Rainn Wilson) tells the story brilliantly and in the end of each episode you find yourself smiling at the tv and really meaning a "good for them".

Cheese ball : Wacky sport in England, ending was thrilling. Best line was Men are three times stupider then women.

Chili eating : Ed you're evil and Dustin is inhuman.

Fantasy Hairstylist: really a fantasy indeed, there is something about it the black community

Yo-yo: Kieran, evan and Betty story was inspiring

Don dancing : Fun and cute

Frog jumping : Can't make sense, how can this even possible.

Amazing vignettes about quirky people participating in quirky competitions. Wonderfully shot, with fantastic narration by Rainn Wilson.

That said, there's a moment, around the 6:30 mark of the second episode, that is so eye-rollingly cringe, you'll break out in a slow clap. The pretentiousness displayed was pure lolz.

Other than that, an engaging series. Hopefully there will be more episodes to come
