Human Playground

The most epic, fastest field sport, and one of the oldest in the world. Primarily played in Ireland but had spread to many countries throughout the world now! An incredible display of passion, strength, fitness, continuity of play and it's played by men and women, and they are just as physical as one another. The women's version is called Camogie for some reason and honestly should be changed to just a Hurling too because it's the same sport. It would be good to cover all those aspects and how the sport represented a revival in Irish culture when it was desperately needed and added to political engagement and understanding.

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.

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.

Wow! I find it truly inspiring how these documentary makers succeeded in highlighting all these different elements of sport all over the world without making statements. They captured all that's out there; both the beautiful and the sometimes horrific things we do. I find it so powerful that these makers realize that you can't judge these things, in some cultures these are elements of centry-old traditions. They truly respected each and every culture in making this series.

How refreshing it is to have a documentary showing you the real deal and not only the beautiful, for once you get to see content reflecting the world exactly as it is without sugarcoating anything. We are all human, we all share this planet together and we all have our different ways to pass our time on earth. Human Playground shows us how we all play and all the motivations we have to do so.

What a powerful thing to realize that sport not only unifies us as humans but that sport is also so much more than just the physical aspect.

Also well done to the team for getting Idris Elba on board. His mesmerizing voice truly elevated this series to a whole other level! Well done!

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.
