Caroline Framke Variety 02/04/2019
If "The World's Best" wants to be "The World's Best," it would do better to stop trying to tell us that it's so mind-blowing and let its acts do the talking. Go to Full Review

Joel Keller Decider 02/05/2019
It's just a more bombastic version of America's Got Talent. And that's just fine. But to expect anything more would be a mistake. Go to Full Review

10/11/2019 Terrible panel of judges... terrible editing and horrible fake drama. Please select better judges and better presentation of the full performances for the audience and maybe.... just maybe your ratings will pick up. See more 02/05/2019 The show is amazing! See more 02/05/2019 The exact thing as all the other reality talent shows, except terrible judges and boring! See more 02/04/2019 Absolute mess, there are 3 judges, the highest they can give is a "50" combined score, and then behind them there is 50 "International" judges that count as 1 point each, if I recall correctly, you need 75 to go to the next round. Anyways, the actual first episode was absolutely horrible and tasteless, the judges just sit there in awe. That is absolutely no joke, the literally sit there like "ö" that gets old fast. I dont get how the audience would ever be excited from a show like this, it is not live but somehow people this a mak with 60 swords in his mouth will somehow die on tv.Now towards the end of that episode... they decided to leave it on a cliff hanger (in the middle of an act) it would be an understatement to say that it was a cheap stunt with the whole "Tune in next time to see if this man in chains without any air survives till Wednesday". I dont expect this show to survive, leave it to X-Factor and Americas Got Talent to have a tasteless show CBS!
