Made a post when the finale originally aired pretty much stating the same thing. Also the episodes that took place in the past (5/7/9) were far superior to ones that took place current day.

New season of Formula 1: Drive to Survive is out!

Time to get my annual fix of exciting racing action before forgetting about it entirely until next year.

Last year was the first year I watched every F1 race. I guess I picked a great year. This year I’ll likely do the same since I’m in the perfect timezone to see all races live, but yah, most years F1 seems not overly exciting. The series is pretty great tho.

spoiler alert

the ending is bullshit

Through four episodes of this now, and my view has changed: now I think it’s just bad. Maybe I’m supposed to care about the daughter, but I definitely do not. And if the guy with her is actually a cop he’s the worst one ever. But who knows if anyone is who they say they are. I definitely do not expect anything approaching a satisfying conclusion and I may not continue to watch.

IIRC you’re at the low point. It gets better, but not much.

Enjoyed Upload S2. Poor Ingrid tries so hard.

Omg. I’ve been in Bulgaria for 8 full days now. First time I’ve turned on the TV and I get Bulgarian survivor on the first channel. Old school knock each other off the beam into the water using giant cushions. It’s 34 past the hour so I would guesss it’s for immunity.

Tied 6-6 not sure what you need to win.

At first I thought it was dubbed US show but the host is different and all the contestants are as pale as me. Looks like two tribes with about 7 players each.

Everyone looks 20-35. Women are on the younger side. All are at least decent.

Red wins 10-8. That went on for like 10 minutes plus.

First season back since 2015. Season 4, a player died of a heart attack. Yikes. Amazing that hasn’t happened on the US version.

Sorry for the play by play, but now watching all 14 players cry while reading letters from home. This has been going on a looooong time. Now I see there is 1 POC.

Seems promising
