The obstacles have changed but don't worry — the floor is just as red and bubbly as you remember. New this season: a very slippery volcano.

Teams enter the lava-filled courses with confidence and bravado. But after navigating the slippery obstacles, that's rarely how they exit.

Click here for a video version of this review: https://youtu.be/7LJt4WP_ngo I’m pretty sure most kids played The Floor is Lava, and spent many hours leaping from the couch to the armchair to the coffee table trying to not die. Proving that there are few new ideas coming out of studios, a game show called _Floor is Lava_ has recently been added to Netflix. For some unexplained reason they didn’t add a “The” to the title of it, but who am I to question proper grammar... In a combination of the childhood game and modern day escape rooms, contestants, in teams of three have to make their way across an obstacle course. Apart from the bubbling lava floor, they have to leap from item to item, shimmy across walls, and figure out what items in the room can assist them and which are traps. There’s not much to say about this. If you’ve seen the trailer, you know exactly what you’re in for. There’s a loud annoying commentator, loud annoying contestants, and loud annoying and over-dramatic music and onscreen graphics. It’s like fingernails on a blackboard and I found myself skipping all the interstitials to get to the actual team runs. It’s pretty dumb stuff, and after two episodes I struggled to be entertained by it, and it quickly became background TV while I was doing much more interesting things like watching paint dry.
