3, 2, 1... Go!

Good question for that one team that started out paddling like an Olympic sprint. Decent kickoff episode, introduces a few teams of characters.

An interesting concept, unfortunately let down so far by too little focus on the actual race and too much focus on the backstory of a handful of the teams.

I'm not really interested in the teams' backstory tbh, especially when the focus is purely on the identities of a dozen or so individuals out of 60+ teams of 4. It's the race itself I'm interested in, and that, at least in episode 1, takes a backseat to talking about the gender, skin colour, sexuality, and medical conditions of a handful of the teams. It's tiresome and often out of place.

I'll give it one more episode, but unless the backstory is dropped and the show actually starts to focus on the race itself then I'll be dropping out long before the finish line.

There is way too many commentarys and background team info granted theres alot of team but just way too many to get invested in any of the team and its the first episode.
