Isolated with Bear Grylls

Originally titled “The Island with Bear Grylls” is a British television series in which ordinary contestants are challenged to survive in extreme and isolated conditions. In the survival reality show format, a group of ordinary people are placed on a remote and challenging island where they must learn to survive on their own using basic survival skills.
Participants are left on the island with limited resources, needing to find water, food, and build shelter to cope with the harsh natural conditions. Bear Grylls, although not physically on the island with the participants, serves as narrator and occasionally provides guidance via video messages, offering valuable survival tips.
The series has had several versions around the world, including versions in the United States and France, adapted to their respective audiences and geographies. Beyond the physical challenge of surviving in the wilderness, “The Island with Bear Grylls” explores the group dynamics, psychological and emotional challenges faced by participants, providing a unique insight into human resilience in extreme conditions.
There were 6 seasons, from 2014 to 2019, in which, as in other series, controversial cases were reported regarding falsifications, accusations of sexism and the death of an animal.
The series was available on Amazon Prime Video, but at the moment you can only watch some episodes on YouTube.
You radical

“You Radical” (“You vs. Wild”) is an interactive Netflix series starring Bear Grylls, in which the survival expert is tested by the decisions of the viewer. Over the course of 8 episodes, you will be able to make crucial decisions that will affect the fate of Bear Grylls as he faces challenges in wild environments such as dense forests, isolated mountains and inhospitable deserts.
The series debuted on the streaming service on April 10, 2019 and has only 1 season. Viewers have to make choices that determine whether the host will fail or succeed in his adventures. The idea follows the lines of “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch”.
One detail is due to the dubbing. Wendel Bezerra, who has voiced Bear Grylls for many years, was not the initial voice actor of the production. The audience complained about the change and Netflix announced the return of the classic voice actor.
For fans of “The Proof of Everything,” the series may seem a bit artificial, as the adventure is paused at crucial moments so the viewer can decide which path Grylls should take. Despite the innovative idea of interactivity, it doesn’t feel so spontaneous. But there are several entertainment and fun propositions.
