Something that may be of interest has just come up on Amazon Prime. No it’s not series six of Australian Survivor (although yes, it’s also series six of Australian Survivor), but a new drama that might scratch an itch Release the Hounds may have left behind called Panic.
Panic, written by and based on a 2014 novel by Lauren Olivier, features young adults in the deadend town of Carp, Texas attempt to win a lifechanging amount of cash that only one of them will win by completing increasingly dangerous challenges. No-one knows how the game started, but it’s an annual event.
It’s probably not the next Alice in Borderland and to be clear I’ve only seen the trailer, but it looked right up my alley so it might be right up yours too.
Series 6 (Season 4) of Aussie Survivor is genuinely one of the best series of any reality show I’ve ever watched. Champions vs Contenders Retribution is the title, and while I was weary of using Champions vs Contenders as the theme again. It worked wonders. The cast is A+, there are some huge characters and great villains, with a lot of great gameplay. Definitely give it a watch when it comes up.
A couple of episodes in, enjoying it a lot – well worth a look if you like Game of Death style dramas.
