Physical: Asia review – some of these super-strong contestants look like barrels wrapped in muscles and hair
Netflix’s new reality TV competition, ‘Physical: Asia’, features intense rivalries and extreme feats of strength. The show, a follow-up to the Korean gameshow ‘Physical 100’, sees top athletes compete in various challenges such as rolling boulders, hauling mine carts and unspooling giant ropes. The aim is to find the contestant with the ultimate physique. While some viewers enjoy the friendly camaraderie between the contestants, others feel the show lacks the dramatic tension found in programs like ‘The Real Housewives’ and boxing weigh-ins.
