Netflix continues in its amusing originals. Now, they are dabbling in game shows, which are indeed amusing. Their most recent addition to their game show playlist, "Floor is Lava". After premiering last week, it has five stars and instantly hit the #1 spot in the top 10 list.
How could it not? It's an incredible blast from the past for any adult who has played the game as a child. Our imagination brought to life before our eyes. Every game is so engaging that it's easy to breeze through the entire ten-episode season in a single sitting. You'll find yourself on the edge of your seat: cringing, jumping, and yelling at the screen the entire way through.
Despite first impressions, this is no easy task for those in peak physical fitness. The game requires insight, planning, and problem-solving skills to make it through. Communication and patience is also a key factor. The games are timed, but precious seconds are wasted for the contestants who jump in without thinking. They find themselves going back around for the clues they miss; thus, they triple their risk of falling into the lava.
"Floor is Lava" more than a cringy game show. It's a fond trip down memory lane that brings cozy, warm feelings of nostalgia. What better way to win a nice chunk of change?
