Judy Berman TIME Magazine 11/28/2023
For a genre built on narcissism in front of the camera and manipulation behind it, the heel turn was inevitable. Go to Full Review Anya Richkind Autostraddle 10/30/2023
As the cash prize comes into increasingly clear view, some players make truly shocking choices, some extremely selfish and some extremely selfless. It’s almost as delicious as a timeless Russian novel. Almost. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 10/20/2023

You care passionately and could not be more uninvested at the same time. All and none of human life is here. Enjoy. Or don’t. It’s not like there’s much of a difference. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 11/06/2023
2/5
Overall, this feels like a cheap reality competition knockoff in which all attempts to appear original fail miserably. Go to Full Review Chris Wasser Irish Independent 10/25/2023
Imagine Love Island meets Survivor with a heavy dollop of I’m a Celeb, but infinitely more annoying and considerably more vacuous than that sounds. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 10/23/2023

Surviving Paradise is just random chunks of other reality TV shows thrown against a wall and hoping it'll keep our attention for long enough to please Netflix's algorithm. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Veronica C @RT46655109 Sep 29 Surviving Paradise is BEYOND infuriating. Listen—I’m no stranger to trashy reality TV, and I actually love a good guilty-pleasure binge. But this? Bottom of the barrel. Eliminating six players in one swoop—most of them the most selfless and genuinely decent people in the cast—was a slap in the face. Meanwhile, the ones left standing in the “paradise” house were, for the most part, the laziest and most selfish. The endgame was especially awful. Instead of strategy, heart, or even fun drama, the producers clearly ran out of ideas and just let the good players cannibalize each other. No structure, no payoff, no satisfaction—just chaos. It felt like they were building the plane as they were flying it, and then crash-landed it in the finale. If you’re looking for messy but entertaining reality TV, skip this one. Surviving Paradise proves some shows aren’t worth surviving at all. See more Alyssa M @RT01690746 05/22/2024 Could be better, but I personally liked it. Would like to see more game play and challenges rather than so much left to luck. See more M D @AthenasDaughter 10/26/2023 Stupid people no one cares about doing stupid things no one cares about.
