    Back to his best great watch

    Dynamo is Dead masterfully balances entertainment and education, continuously challenging societal stigmas surrounding mental health. The show presents magic not just as an illusion but as a metaphor for the struggles and triumphs we all face in our minds. The messages conveyed resonate deeply, reminding us that no one is alone in their struggles and that seeking help is a sign of strength.

    Dynamo is Dead is more than a magic show; it's a catalyst for change. It encourages open dialogue, fosters empathy, and promotes a deeper understanding of mental health. By the end of the performance, you're left with a renewed sense of hope and a fresh perspective on the human experience.

    If you're seeking an extraordinary and transformative experience that merges magic, mental health, and incredible talent, Dynamo is Dead is an absolute must-see. Prepare to be enchanted, moved, and inspired all at once.

    Amazing watch

    Dynamo is Dead is a thrilling and mind-bending magic TV show that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats. But don't be fooled by the title, this show is anything but dead.

    Using his magic to bring awareness to mental health issues. This unique concept immediately caught my attention and I was hooked from the very first episode.

    What I loved most about the show was the seamless blend of magic and mental health. Dynamo not only wows the audience with his mind-boggling illusions, but also sheds light on the importance of mental well-being. Through his performances, he challenges societal stigmas and encourages viewers to have open conversations about mental health.

    But the show is not all serious and heavy. It also has its fair share of fun and entertaining moments.

    WOW what a show

    I love love loved this show!!!!! What an incredibly personal account of Dynamo's own mental health struggles and he uses magic in an innovative way to explore the mental health difficulties of an amazing array of A-list guests, and remind you that it's ok to ask for help. Was truly blown away.

    I loved the live element from the Angel of the North and honestly my jaw was on the floor when he was being buried alive.

    I've been a fan of Dynamo for years and was so happy to have back on our screens, he is so relatable and this was such a personal story so I really thank him for sharing that with us at home! Its left me wanting more!!!!!!

    Great show with an important message

    I really enjoyed this show, and it encouraged me to listen to his interview on Diary of a CEO afterwards (which is also great and puts the show in much more context).

    The magic is generally really good, but the show included some important messages about mental health and overcoming struggles in life. A really interesting take on how to deliver Dynamo's new show with some real relevance to what he's been going through recently. Good choice of celebrities and people giving their own views on mental health and their personal journeys.

    I look forward to what Dynamo does next as I feel this show is the precursor to a new era of creative magic from him.

    More like a counselling session

    Had to turn off half way through. Was more like a therapy or counselling session than a magic show. I thought this was meant to be family entertainment? Was a throughly miserable watch, and the tricks weren't great 👎 The format just didn't work for me.

    There seems to be an over reliance on people these days having to tell all their problems to make a watchable Tv program, dynamo was very watchable before and it just didn't need the whole misery narrative.

    Get back to the tricks, make it uplifting, there isn't enough of this in the world today. Everything is far too miserable and it's starting to get a bit thin.
