Southern Survival

This show is an infomercial for Battlbox. Is this the future of advertising on Netflix? Ads are why I don't have cable TV!

The talentless cast stumbles through awkward, heavily-scripted scenes. Sometimes there are explosions, which are the high point of the show.

It is unclear if the cast represents real rednecks or an ironic representation of rednecks as imagined by a corporation.

I added two stars for the camera crew, who did their best to capture visually exciting shots.

I've built quite a few BOBs etc and good to see what I've got in action without trashing mine 😆

I don't know... I wanted to like this series but it just felt too cheesy, too staged and not informative enough. Maybe if it had a title that didn't involved the word "survival" it would have made more sense... like, you better hope if you find yourself in a dangerous situation that you packed all kinds of things that will help you survive, which isn't likely. They talk about products and then give no brand names or info on where to purchase these things. It just felt more like a big joke than it did any survival tactics. The humor also falls flat. They were trying too hard. I was only able to watch 3 episodes and then didn't care anymore.

Immature version of mythbusters. No attempt made to follow any scientific method or design any experiments. The obviously pick their products through the "this looks cool" method of "science".

The idea of the show sounds great, testing survival equipment. But boy they sure are the wrong people to do this. Guess I should have known better to expect anything decent going by the title of the show.

Very poor yolo style testing. Try hard humor that's cringe. feels like a long bad youtube advert that was given too much of a budget that skips over details.

terrible advice and ill quote what was said mid way through episode 1 "The most important thing we tell people is, if you're in a fire, inside a structure when a fire happens, get out." You don't say???
