4/5
It’s completely addictive, ridiculous and great. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
There’s not an awful lot that’s new about Netflix’s foray into the reality survival contest stakes. But the genius of Outlast is to package up the best bits of so many other shows into one utterly addictive, if ethically ambiguous, whole. Go to Full Review

3/5
With insane challenges and high-intensity gameplay, this hard-core show pushes 16 contestants to the limits in the Alaskan Wilderness. It will make you grateful for a decent cooked meal and a warm bed. Go to Full Review

Whatever you think about what happens, it's allowable, smart, and exactly what Outlast was designed to create. If Netflix wanted a show where survivalists sat around and waited to outlast either other, they would have cast actual survivalists Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 03/11/2023
Outlast doesn’t try to do any more than show these “lone wolf” outdoorspeople work in teams and survive some pretty rough terrain. And, in this case, that’s all that’s really needed. Go to Full Review

Marcus J. @camco Jun 25 This show teaches that bullying is ok like if we don't have enough of it in America See more Steve H. @RT11208014 Jun 24 I thought It was a show about bush craft not about cheating and also about getting help from the production team.. I get the premise but I couldn't get past episode 4. When people get caught red handed sabotaging and stealing but the people its happening to can't do anything about it. They just have to sit and watch them and not have any repercussions. What's to stop someone from walking up to your camp and stealing your tarp and you can't get into an altercation except for having to yell at them and watch them do it. There should be consequences/rules about getting caught red handed like a time out or something of theirs taken from them like a crab pot, sleeping bag, fire starter , etc.... for x amount days. See more Mariana L @Marlilarli May 23 Lots of people bash the show for how team Alpha in S1 went rogue and started stealing off their other competitors. I found that it great as a social experiment. Unfortunately, isolation, hunger, pack-mentality will do stuff like that to peoples' psyche. I thought it was great. S2 not so much See more Cade A @RT74782904 Mar 30 How is it a survival show if one team can just walk into camp while you’re there and steal your sh** and you just have to watch because you’re not allowed to defend your camp in anyway? For a show pitched as "Alone but in teams" was very disappointing and not worth watching past the first 4 episodes. See more Skyler C @Skyray Feb 15 Great watch if you forget how horrible humans can be to each to each-other in life or death situations To add to the many reviews saying this Alpha teams actions and production fucked the whole show. Producers had a chance to set an example of very basic bullying and moral decision making in survival situations but chose to enforce, allow, and encourage it. We get reminders daily of real life scenarios humans hurt humans for a variety of reasons, we don't need another "survival" show enforcing these harmful behaviors. I hope that they're childless but i feel most for Jill and Ambers dependents. Having a mother like that can only set you up for the miserable lonely life they lead. See more Vanessa V @Momofthree1987 Jan 12 First few episodes were good but Jill and the alpha team are disgusting and ruin the show. It’s not about survival. They’re useless and can only get by through thieving and bullying. They actually think they’re the good ones too. If Jill and the other alpha got eaten by a bear it might have made it better but unfortunately they didn’t. See more Read all reviews
