What Ultimate Beastmaster Is About
Terry Crews and Charissa Thompson host this intense obstacle course competition featuring elite athletes from the U.S. and five other countries.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 29 episodes, spread across 3 seasons and it leans into its action/sports roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Terry Crews and Charissa Thompson to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Terry Crews and Charissa Thompson lead the cast.
Key roles include Terry Crews as Host; Charissa Thompson as Host.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action and sports have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 7.5/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2017 and carried by Netflix with the series still ended, it lands hardest with action and sports viewers.
How Ultimate Beastmaster Compares
If Ultimate Beastmaster lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/sports lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Ultimate Beastmaster is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Terry Crews and Charissa Thompson doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/sports roots, It has held up since 2017 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Ultimate Beastmaster is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and sports lane, at 29 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.5/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.5/10. Watch it if you want action/sports you can settle into.
