I did not watch the original American Gladiators. Well, maybe I saw an episode here or there in my youth, but it wasn’t part of my viewing habits. Therefore, I know so little about the original series and the show’s history, and I went into Prime Video’s new American Gladiators blindly, but I had some expectations.
I thought it would be this tough competition of strength, skill, and agility. I expected it to be very similar to one of my favorite reality competition shows, Physical 100. The shows are not very similar, but they align in how they inspire. I finished watching American Gladiators feeling rejuvenated and determined.
