What to Know

Critics Consensus

Floor Is Lava is too repetitive and tacky to really sizzle as a twist on the obstacle course format, but viewers who like their competitions low-stakes may enjoy the child's play.

The concept wears thin quickly. The floor is lava, don't fall in it, we get it. Go to Full Review

Floor is Lava is a fun, suspenseful, captivating new game show that will not only have you wishing you could get on the next season yourself, but it will also have you setting up a course in your own home as you wallow away the stay-at-home hours. Go to Full Review

Floor is Lava is much more than just escapist entertainment (though entertaining it certainly is). Go to Full Review

Floor Is Lava is at the lower tier - deep in the crater, if you will - of childish physical TV contests. If you have enough people and enough furniture to get an actual game of "the floor is lava" going, that would be a lot more fun. Go to Full Review

Joey G @LegoJo7 Apr 13 The first season was good! I liked the rooms, the players, the host, the traps, and everything. But it did get a little old. See more 12/07/2021 It was a pretty good series. If you're into watching people doing obstacle courses. Or what people now days call parkour. I enjoyed watching these episodes. I recommend it to anyone who have nothing to watch. I watched it on Netflix. See more 08/02/2020 What next? Celebrity tag? See more 07/15/2020 I didn't get what they're aiming for. The premise is good but the contestants and the commentary are just... cringe. See more 07/12/2020 I had put this on for my young kids and they seemed to enjoy it. The premises is pretty simple, a team of 3 must cross a simple obstacle course in roughly 10 minutes or it becomes slightly more difficult. The first episode is fine. Very campy the actors they used as "contestants" were not funny and seem to be paid to be completely dense. Frankly this show could use a major overhaul if it gets a season 2. Maybe have the contestants be children's since that is the target audience and also make the obstacle courses grow in scope. Most of these courses are about the same level of difficulty, which seems to be abysmally easy. I think the show would have been better if it had 3 consistent teams you follow through each set of obstacle courses, you know give us some recognizable faces who we can root for or at least consistent team colors. Maybe have each course have a set time limit so the teams need to rush to complete the course. Also make the prize something more desirable. 10k is a laughably small amount of money for something like this. After sitting through all the episodes it is fine for really little kids. My 5 year old loved it. But I can't recommend it for anyone else without an overhaul. See more 07/11/2020 It seems pretty clear that this show is intended to be watched by families with young children, or perhaps, as background noise for large parties of adults. For those purposes, it is passable. If you are an adult watching Floor is Lava by yourself, however, it's probably worth evaluating whether you should dedicate your time to other, more productive pursuits. See more Read all reviews
