Beast Games Season 2 is heading to the finish line, and as someone who's been watching with my Prime Video subscription all season long, I have a note. While the reality series has given us some awesome twists, a Survivor crossover, and big stakes, something is still very much missing from its run on the 2026 TV schedule.
After thinking on it for most of the season, I realized that Beast Games fails in a way that many iconic reality competition shows have been succeeding at for years. The creative team is good at crafting engaging competitions, creating stakes, and even filming dramatic moments. Where it's failing, however, is at giving us a reason to actually care about its competitors, and the episodes would be so much richer with more focus on that aspect.
