Une terre de jeux

A very great series and just LOVE IDRIS HIS VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so amazed by the fact that people are really facing their boundaries to reach their goals and the mental game that people play with themselves motivates me to start doing sports again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooo I just 10000000% recommend watching this series. Absolut a MUST for all people. And Idris is such an amazing person to be the ambassador of this project. An example in the sports world.......... for everybody that wants to educate themselves and likes to watch something more relevant about the world: GO AND WATCH HUMAN PLAYGROUND.

Some beautiful photography in some amazing places.

Some, sadly few, captivating stories. By far the best was the lass doing the desert ultra in the first episode. I'd have happily, if uncomfortably, watched a whole series just about her journey.

The comments about animal cruelty/abuse are pretty spot on. We shouldn't, in my view, be justifying or even glorifying these as sport in the way this series does.

But what really grates here is the awful, often tedious script, read by a very capable actor who, for me, was just the wrong choice. There are so many others who could have injected passion to the narration. What might have worked even better for me is someone from each field doing that. How fantastic that would have been.

Nice narration by Idris and some nice camera work.

Done in 10 min segments of each item making it easy to dip in/out of or spin through for some of the less appealing ones.

And I did spin on some. I question some of the items come under playground. There were some obvious elements of pier pressure under the guise of tradition. I would prefer to review items where participants were not forced or coerced into it or coping with what appeared substantial mental trauma.

To be clear, a playground is something you enter under your own free will to test your skill set perhaps to include risk to life and limb.

This is the first time in my life that i review a tv series on IMDB. Actually, the first time in my life that I review a show ever. But I had to review this show somewhere. This show literally promotes animal abuse, glorifies it and show it as sport. This show made me very sick to the stomach. Make a favor to all the animals on the show and animals everywhere, and remove this show. BAN IT. Instead, take the same frames and narrate the abuse and suffering that these animals have to endure in their lifetime for the sake of sadistic "sports". Its basically people who are trying to show off their masculinity through abusing animals and make money off of them.

Great documentary, I enjoyed every episode. People that complain because of the animal abuse, shouldn't aim to this show. They are clearly DOCUMENTING the human experience, it is part of the reality.

I would love a second season with all the other sports and games that they didn't mention. It so interesting. Some people just can't enjoy and see clearly because their ideologies are all over their brains. Not every human lives with a estable connection to internet, completely unplugged from the nature writings reviews online like we do, there outside are some people that lives different and this documentary will show you.
