Deadliest Warrior (2009– )
5/10
Only the Last 5 Minutes are Worth it...

... And even they aren't that great.

The show itself takes an interesting, if unoriginal idea, of pitting warriors of different eras against each other. A few problems though.

1)Their experts are arrogant, ignorant, annoying and all too often deliver an opinion that is clearly scripted to create suspense and conflict. However, some of the guests to have impressive skills (I speak of course of the ninja guys).

2)The body of the show is filled with so much hyperbole, blatant romanticism, anachronisms, and unbearably 'Hollywood' attitude towards the whole thing that I can't even watch it.

3) Their tests are ludicrously poor.

4) The whole thing about the computer models is almost certainly BS (Sadly I cannot prove that.) On the other hand, the fight at the end can be pretty cool.

While this is certain to attract a certain type of viewer, watch only the first and last 5 minutes if you at all value the integrity of television.
