Farah R @Farah Oct 2 It got the story across but doesn’t get deep enough to really justify its existence. It was just reiterating what the headlines said years ago. See more Joe G @Review_Joe Sep 3 A brief docu series on Biggest Loser. Felt as if they were just scratching the surface as the series came to an end. I think there is more to the story than what was told. See more Sergio A @Sergio83 Sep 1 It’s unsettling for those of us who once found The Biggest Loser entertaining. It’s quite engaging for a series and exposes things we already suspected: abusive trainers and questionable methods. Still, I feel it lacks depth when exploring certain topics and the participants’ perspectives. See more Paige H Sep 1 Having Aubrey Gordon as any type of authority on this show was a complete joke. Enjoyed the docuseries, and I think it allowed for great conversations after watching- but I do question the legitimacy or the motivation of making this documentary with such an outspoken fat activist as the only outside perspective beyond the makers and contestants of the show See more Ben B Aug 30 Nope. It's literally fat people moaning about how they treated on a reality show about fat people. See more Nancy K. @luvdogs27 Aug 24 I watched the Biggest Loser for years because I thought it was inspiring and told stories of how people became obese and their desire to be healthier. I was sympathetic to the contestant’s struggles and by watching their success at losing weight I was motivated to exercise and eat better. However, I found Jillian to be overly cruel and she seemed to focus more on winning the weight-ins than about the contestant’s health. I preferred Bob’s style of training and felt he had more compassion but he also pushed people too far at times. The fact that so many contestants gain the weight back is an unfortunate reality because of the extreme approach to weight loss. I did find the show entertaining but looking at it now, I realize it was not the best message about losing weight. Also, the fact that Jillian Michaels didn’t contact Bob after his heart attack and chose not to speak on the documentary confirms my feeling that she’s not a nice person. See more Read all reviews
