Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
A reality competition series set in the wild, THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE pits 12 strangers against each other for a prize of 2 million pesos. Players are divided into two teams and given a basic shelter, plus limited food and supplies. They face off in grueling missions that test their strength, agility, and smarts. The winning team selects three members from the losing team to compete in a "purge" challenge that sends one player home. The twist? Throughout the game, contestants can sabotage each other for a cut of the prize money. Will they give into greed or stand by their teams?
Is It Any Good?
Challenging missions and charismatic contestants keep this fast-paced show entertaining and suspenseful. The Law of the Jungle tempts players with money and advantages adds an interesting ethical dilemma, and additional twists keep players on their toes. There's enough conflict and strategy to satisfy reality competition fans, but the show never stoops to bullying or cruelty to create drama. Although it's not the most original premise, borrowing heavily from Survivor, The Law of the Jungle is a lively, well-produced addition to the genre.
