Deadliest Warrior (2009– )
8/10
Best Nonfiction show, but still has its flaws
8 August 2010
This show is very intellectual and enjoyable, and yet, like almost any other show on television, but it is not perfect. Perhaps my favorite match-ups are the ancient match-ups because their weaponry is more interesting. One real plus for this show is that they bring in people who know dead-on 100% what they are talking about when it comes to the soldiers or heroes (yes, they pit named military icons against each other to) they are testing. The show revolves around pitting two warriors who have never clashed in history against each other in a simulation program, which I should warn you is not always consistent with the tests done by the doctor, scientist, and weapons experts. And also, I'll even admit, there are some plot-holes between the historical factors of each warrior, but it is filled more so with consistent and accurate information about each trooper. The show even answers questions you may have had about people like the Samurai, Persian Immortal, Ninja, William Wallace, Atilla the Hun, etcetera. A funny thing about this show is that the weapons experts are always joking about the other sides' warrior, and since I don't hate the show, I can see and admit that none of them mean any offense to each other. Also, nearly all of the experts will describe their warrior as doing nothing but fight, this is obviously not something to take literally. There are also tests against armor and on vehicle that I wish they would do, but still, it is a good show with flaws. There is not a single legitimately bad episode in this show. I recommend it for anyone who is up for some informative and yet entertaining material.
