Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 04/16/2019
3/5
The lack of intensity turns out to be a strength. Grylls isn't taking any of it terribly seriously. Go to Full Review
Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture 04/16/2019
I can't say I wasn't entertained. I was. If I was also confused and alarmed and thrown into a small existential crisis about the nature of reality, I guess those feelings were a bonus. Go to Full Review

It's diverting enough for a time, but it isn't long before you think: if you're going to make me edit all these programmes for you, I want to be paid. Go to Full Review
Calum Henderson New Zealand Herald 07/03/2019
You vs. Wild feels more like a CD-Rom that probably came bundled with Windows 98. Go to Full Review

Interactive survival show lets viewers decide star's fate. Go to Full Review
Faye Fearon GQ Magazine [UK] 04/16/2019
That does reduce the organic feel that grounds his previous programmes, but he was always an expeditional avatar: it's just that here he takes that role on rather more literally. Go to Full Review

Robbie M 03/03/2021 Although it is enjoyable enough and a decent pastime, "You vs. Wild" ultimately suffers from its cheapness and cheese See more johann m @Johann33 02/10/2021 Unprecedented! Netflix offer us this interactive adventure series in which, following Black Mirror's Bandersnatch's concept, the viewer makes key decisions to help Bear Grylls survive, thrive and complete missions in the harshest environments on Earth, including where to go and what to eat. Very much like a game, it is an immersive experience you actually enjoy as if you were the one doing everything. A very innovative idea, it creates a lot of flowcharts on your head and makes you explore the different options available. Now I look forward to the movie! See more 11/07/2020 Very good interactive series with Bear Grylls, this first season was excellent as it showed how to survive in different difficult terrains and areas. The only negative I can mention is that you always choose the right answer first, sometimes both answers are correct. See more 02/07/2020 My kid loves this show sooo much, it is so entertaining and a conversation starter. He has learned so much about nature and new vocabulary . He watches it in english and spanish. Season 2 ?? See more 04/21/2019 Fun and disgusting sometimes, You vs. Wild is an excellent interactive series that is elevated by the presence of Bear Grylls and proves that Netflix knows how to make such content See more 04/20/2019 If you like interactive viewing and text interface games from the 80s then you will love this show. Otherwise if you just want to relax and watch something enjoyable after 9 hrs at work then no, you will find it shit. Every couple of minutes. Pick one, pick one! If you don't pick one then it will be on a continuous loop! ���� ���� See more Read all reviews
