There were many moments during Jimmy “Mister Beast” Donaldson’s Beast Games that smacked of the film adaptation of Stephen King’s Running Man. It’s a showcase of what people will do for money, and how they respond as the odds get narrower and narrower.
I only felt manipulated by the editing a handful of times in the last few episodes, so it wasn’t terrible in so far as reality television goes.
I’d call Jimmy’s social experiment a success, and with all the Guiness records he broke I expect the Games will return for another go-around at some point.
