Limitless

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.

This six episode docu-series is entertaining to watch, and, at times, educational - in a very fun way. Limitless With Chris Hemsworth tests the limits of the human body and finds what may lead to a longer life.

Limitless With Chris Hemsworth follows -- you guessed it -- Chris Hemsworth, occasionally with his friends and family, on a six-episode journey to find ways to boost longevity and quality of life.

It's fascinating to see some unexpected ways we could achieve longevity and a better life. Of course, not all of these actions can and/or should be imitated by the average person, but there are ways that you can modify what's in the episodes and apply it to your own life. Examples include fasting for one day a month or turning the shower on cold for the last 30 seconds or spending time in a sauna - these practices can help lead to a longer life. Some of the episodes include Stress-Proof, Memory, and Strength. My favorite episode is Acceptance, where Chris gets to experience firsthand what it's like to be old and how to accept that. I really found it interesting to watch Chris Hemsworth outside of the MCU and be just himself. It adds something more personal and makes the audience feel connected to him in a new way.

The message of Limitless With Chris Hemsworth is to accept aging because it's a part of life, and yet there are ways to make life healthier and longer lasting. There are some very risky things done in this show that should not be done without expert supervision.

I give Limitless With Chris Hemsworth 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. This series comes out on Disney+ November 16, 2022. By Katherine S., KIDS FIRST!

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.

Life is fragile. Life is confronting. Life is fleeting. And we need to prioritise what we choose to devote our finite time to. Chris has exposed so much of his vulnerabilities in this series. Before this he seemed infallible and a man with everything at his fingertips, but thankfully for us all.. he's just like us. We are treaded to a very raw and beautiful side to Chris that I personally am grateful for seeing. To then find out post production of this series Hemsworth had decided to take some time away from work to devote to his family (I believe this was due to a rare genetic condition relating to alzheimers) it was evident that this show was a big awakening for him too.

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.
