The Titan Games

What an awesome event! The Titan Games is positive and uplifting...incredible stories of every day hardworking people. A true display of athletic ability, heart, and power! Show is amazing 👍 good job! NBC & Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

The show 90's kids needed. It's a little bit of Global Guts, a little bit of American Gladiators, a little bit of Legends Of The Hidden Temple, and a lot of fun.

Shows like this can be fun to watch. I only wish they'd cut out the usual seen it all before hype, flash and flare and over the top pictures and videos of the contestants. Just get on with the competition.

Way too much talk and backstory, not enough action. The hosts are simply terrible.

Granted the obstacles are unique but they are so contrived that in no way to do they accurately showcase how athletic these people are. Winning is just as much or more about luck as you couldn't possibly train or practice to become good at these.

Straight to the point, here's what I didn't like about this show: 1) 4 announcers, why? Dwayne Johnson, Cari Champion, Liam McHugh & Alex Mendez. That's at least one too many, if not two. 2) DJ's lines are too cringy, and they get too repetitive as the episodes pile on. His motivational speeches right before every challenge look completely scripted and you never truly feel like he is connected with the competitors. I genuinely got the impression that Dwayne treated the show like any other job that he's part of, which is odd given that he's the creator of "The Titan Games" so I felt that the show deserved more from him. 3) You can easily tell from the competition's format that the creative team didn't really care about variety. The entire show consisted of the 6-7 challenges, which is very low considering that one of them is constant in every episode (Mount Olympus). 4) You can also easily tell that the creative team didn't really care about competitiveness, with some of the games being design to end within 2 minutes tops. I'm sure every game is challenging, but the show fails to convey that to the audience. 5) The competitors are being presented as average, when in reality all of them have rich athletic backgrounds that most certainly make them above average. 6) The backstories of each competitor take a lot of each episode's run time, maybe almost half of the episode if not more. This is outrageously long, and happens in every single episode. Why not shorten those segments and instead focus more on making the challenges longer and more challenging?

This show proved to me once and for all that Dwayne Johnson's name sells pretty much anything. Many of us followed this show just because it had Dwayne's name attached to it, and it mattered very little if he created/produced the show or not. With that being said, once you do watch the episodes you'll notice that it's average (just like most of DJ's movies) and is far too repetitive for a season that is just 9 episodes long.
