here’s a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a great idea and a great product,” Apple founder Steve Jobs once said and, although he would have gone out in the first round of the Netflix endurance contest Physical: 100 – he gave up competitive swimming as a youth – he would have had to respect its artistry.
In the show’s first proper challenge, the 100 face off in a series of one-on-one bouts, trying to grab a medicine ball in order to be the one holding on to it when a three-minute timer runs out. Contestants who did well during the brutal and gruelling qualifying round can pick their opponents, as well as choosing the arena – an obstacle-filled playground that favours more agile athletes, or a sandbag-lined paddling pool that rewards raw power.
Another of the show’s joys is how charming the contestants are.
