Physical: 100 is the latest South Korean show taking Netflix by storm and it's safe to say that people are already hooked.

The reality game show is currently the number one most-watched programme on the platform and pits 100 contestants, many of whom are professional athletes or trainers, against each other in a series of grueling contests which has already seen it compared to Squid Game (minus the actual deaths).

The 100 contestants all vary in age and have well-developed physical attributes but come from many different disciplines including combat sports, CrossFit, firefighting, military, fitness influencers, acting and even cheerleading. Many of those taking part have already competed at the highest level in their particular profession including former UFC fighter Choo Sung-hoo, former Major League Baseball player Dustin Nippert and Olympic gold medal gymnast Yang Hak-seon.

After each trial, those that have lost in their particular contest are eliminated with the tournament aiming to whittle down the contestants until there is only one left standing, much like Squid Game. The eventual winner will receive 300 million won which is about £199 million.

The series began on Netflix on earlier this year and six episodes are already available on the platform. Only 3 episodes remain of this first season but if you haven't seen it don't worry. They are released weekly so there is plenty of time to catch up.
