On Netflix, you can discover season 1 of the survival game Outlast: at the end of ourselves. A clever mix of Koh-Lanta and completely crazy Hunger Games.
Notice to those who never miss an episode of Koh-Lanta the Sacred Fire live or in replay. In the family of survival shows that glue viewers to their seats, the newcomer is Outlast: at the end of ourselves. It is on Netflix that you can devour this new television nugget. Forget the kilos of rice offered to the teams, the coconuts, the drinking water available near the Koh-Lanta camp, or the comforts of the massage option on the beach. In Outlast, it’s “real life the hard way”, “real survival” would say the gossips who accuse the Koh-Lanta show of being a little too “soft” and scripted.
THE simple Outlast concept: last as long as possible in the game, without giving up. 16 “survivors”, men and women, are dropped in the middle of Alaska, at the edge of a river. In the cast, there are former soldiers, survival pros, but not only. They must form in a few seconds and without knowing each other, teams of 4 people, then organize yourself to survive in a nature that is hostile to say the least. The object of the game is to be the last team standing. In game there is a sum of 1 million dollars for the team that lasted the longest. And the only rule is to be in team. It is forbidden to go it alone, but they can, if they wish, change teams during the game, pair up, try out a trio, etc. If he wants to give up and be repatriated, a candidate must fire a distress flare. Illness, cold, hunger, misunderstanding, there are many reasons to crack…

Outlast: no rules to become a winner
The icing on the cake, nature will take care of making their task even more complex. In Alaska in the fall, the temperatures drop below 0°C quickly after sunset. It rains or snows for days at a time making it difficult to build and maintain a fire. Food is scarce, water must be boiled in order to be drunk. And the area is riddled with brown bears which also seek to build up their reserves before hibernating.
For survive on the other hand, everything is allowed to them. Hunt, fish, collect. And plunder. Indeed, they have the right to go, discreetly or not, on an opposing camp, steal food, equipment, or destroy what was built to cripple their opponents. The law of the strongest and the smartest in short. As you can imagine, this absence of Hunger Games-style rules will give rise to many incredible scenes. The 8-episode season is available in full on Netflix. And we warn you, you will become addicted.
