Review of Series 7: The Contenders (2001) by Andrew R — 10 Jul 2007
It's a shame this didn't get way, way more play when it came out, it perfectly skewers the then-emerging reality TV phenomenon in a way that's rarely if at all been matched since and it's piss-funny along with it.
Brooke Smith's performance deserves a special mention and if I say "career best" it's only cuz I haven't seen her in anything else, unfortunately, so it's all I have to go on.
But yeh, fans of Battle Royale and 'predator vs. prey'-type films should definitely check this out.
