The first episode is perfect. The narrative, the people, the competition, the history, it is a great mix.
Then comes episode 2 and it is just disappointment. Episode 3, 4, 5 and 6 are as bad or even worse.
While episode 1 show a traditional competition that is being held for centuries, the other ones are:
Ep2: First time event with people eating chili to channel their self destructive feelings into a self destructive eating;
Ep3: Fashion community competing to do hairstyles that nobody will ever see/use anywhere else.
Ep4: Teenagers playing with yo-yo
Ep5: Old ladies "dancing" with dogs
Ep6: Crazy people kissing frogs and chasing them to measure the distance of 3 leaps.
After watching episode 1, I expected way more of this series. Last 2 episodes were so terrible that I couldn't stand to watch it till the end.
My advice is, watch the first one, forget that there is more. It is a huge waste of time.
