Joel T @RT14896232 Feb 25 Never wanted to see the arrogant manipulative "hero" lose so badly. Poor dialogue, poor and obvious plot, poor acting, stale characters. Just bad all around. Rewatch Rocky and skip this tripe. See more DJS T @RT93886608 01/21/2025 The Cage is an intense and inspiring show about Taylor’s journey to becoming a UFC fighter. With realistic fight scenes and raw storytelling, it captures the physical and emotional struggles of chasing greatness. The series balances action with heartfelt moments, making every victory and setback deeply personal. Whether you’re a UFC fan or just love a good underdog story, The Cage is a must-watch. See more Martin G @RT65888023 12/22/2024 Overall I enjoyed it, gets you in that rocky montage mood at points, but the story is frustrating, very obvious where it’s heading and they over do it a lot, very basic and little depth makes it feel very teen fiction See more S&C D @RT43609950 12/19/2024 Great fun nothing heavy just an easy fun watch . Seeing the cameo appearances of Cyril Gane and GSP adds to the fun. Series 2 has been announced which is great news this can run and run See more Basil S @RT45062335 11/28/2024 Caron, stars Melvin Boomer as Taylor, a determined MMA fighter striving to overcome personal and professional challenges. The series, while built on the foundation of MMA drama, struggles to deliver the thrill expected of its genre. The fight scenes feel uninspired, lacking the intensity of real-life matches, and the story follows a predictable path with a stereotypical aggressive villain, played rapper Bosh, and a calm hero. The romantic subplot fails to resonate, and the acting performances are average at best. Despite some involvement from real MMA figures like Georges St-Pierre, the choreography and cinematography leave much to be desired. If you're a fan of MMA and have the time, it might be worth checking out, but don't go in with high expectations. See more Tristan L @RT40354287 11/25/2024 Overall, one of the better MMA based series. The acting is nothing incredible, the characters are okay and the story is fairly predictable. This story gets pretty bogged down into the same, "oh i can't do it, but i must, but this happened or this person is mean or this person is hurt so i cant... But i must" and the fights feel the same, they start with a winners mentality, then the main character isn't as aggressive as the villain so he's on defense the whole fight, flashback to something bad, and then turns it all around. But the last fight was horrible, the amount of times the main character was so tired he was throwing out weird little punches or kicks made me go mental just to land some poor side kick and win. It took the steam away for the 2 episodes of drama and training for a sad random ko. Overall, if you like fighting tv shows you'll be entertained, but if you choose not to watch it you won't miss anything besides celebrity fighters that shouldn't be acting & some poorly planned choreography.
