The Mole hits a different but powerfully satisfying note with its convoluted challenges, mind games, and sabotage. It’s both cerebral and physical -- even when viewed from the couch -- an interesting confluence of 2022 itself/ Go to Full Review
Daniel D'Addario Variety 10/03/2022
Sub-2001 “Mole” is still “The Mole,” a show whose sophistication and rock-solid concept mean that it occupies a very special place in the hearts of its devotees. And, should there be future seasons, there’s a great deal to grow on Go to Full Review
Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet 01/04/2023
From physical challenges to sabotaging mind games, The Mole is an addicting and successful reboot of the original series for a new audience. Go to Full Review

I am enjoying Brügger’s evolution from performer willing to endanger themselves (as a bit) into an increasingly morally urgent journalist with the resources and recklessness necessary to carry out his preferred modes of investigation. Go to Full Review
Rachel Leishman The Mary Sue 10/13/2022
It is a great return to the series. Even if no one wants to actually be a team player. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 10/07/2022
The presentation of the show is as slick as any reality competition out now, but the old spy motif of the original was more fun. Go to Full Review

Alexander T @Mcjangles May 1 This show is AMAZING! It is so addicting and awesome. Each challenge is so cool, and it fun to have your suspicions about who the mole is. See more Ed 07/06/2024 There almost doesn't need to be a mole, the real players will take money from themselves. The structure of the quizzes allows for the worst players to continue and players with integrity to be eliminated. There's no penalty for not being a team player . Once people realized that the strategy was to act suspicious even if you're not the mole So that they get eliminated before you, everyone's integrity went down. The quizzes are structured so that at the end of the day, it's individual. It's a little frustrating you can't vote out bad actors, but I can understand that decision because otherwise you could vote out the mole before the end of the game (But, as I said earlier, even without the more people would continue to sabotage because they think it helps their game). **Spolers ahead!** I was really disappointed to see Dom and Pranav go. They were strong competitors in my opinion that maintained integrity. Really like Greg, Because he was duplicitous, but never intentionally sabotaged the group or threw a competition. When he went out, I lost all interest and skipped to the end. I'm really glad that a competitor with integrity won. TL;DR: I'm generally a fan of psychological reality shows , but just the fact that this one made everyone act terrible and there's no repercussions hindered my enjoyment. If you wanna see something where the competitors actually respect each other, watch Big Brother. See more DoneWatching 05/02/2024 In the Netherlands and Belgium we have a show like this every year, so the concept doesn't baffle me anymore. What does is the amount of copy pasted assignments that were taken from the Dutch and mostly Belgian version. There is nothing really unique and to me that shows laziness. The host Eva makes it even worse. De Mol was originally a very mysterious show. It doesn't capture that vibe. If you want a true Mole experience watch Wie is de Mol? or De Mol. See more M P 06/19/2023 I just finished Physical 100, thinking there couldn't possibly be a better competitive reality show, then I found this. I never watched the original 2004 series, so I can't speak on that, but this version is an absolute banger! See more Regal R 01/22/2023 70/100 - honestly after watching the 2004 version its really hard to stomach. they should have gotten a new host. hinders the show. also... i dont want to give anything away but ASDGKJASDFGKSDFKASLDOMCRUISE!!!!!!! See more Sheny T 11/02/2022 the amount of times joi got on my nerves. how are you a pilot and messed up on reading a map many many times. she always blamed everyone but herself. her accusations on will were non stop. joi was so annoying omg See more Read all reviews
