Terrible Finale
rring-4749019 March 2022
Terrible finale, why not let the top 8 acts perform instead of the so-called super fans pick the top 2. Who are these super fans any way? Whoever's idea of the super fans picking the top 2 should be fired.

Started good, awful finale
bolichdj17 March 2022
The first few acts on this show weren't very exciting, and definitely wouldn't be considered "extreme." But the some of the later acts were absolutely AMAZING and incredible EXTREME. So, we thought this show would be worth finishing. Sadly, we were mistaken. Not only did NONE of the most talented acts even make it because the "super fans" didn't vote for them. Who are they anyways?? Then the top two stunts were two of the least exciting acts of the whole show. Awful ending. And Simon is extra irritating this season.

Starts out as an Exciting show with real heart... BUT GET RID OF THE SUPER FANS ffs
OneAnjel8 March 2022
I don't think of myself as a fan of the daredevil acts on AGT so I wasn't expecting to enjoy AGT Extreme. But it really proved me wrong in the 1st episodes. It looked like a fantastic show with a different presence than the pristine theater show (these judges should replace the 2 divas on the regular version). We see real athletes commenting on extreme sport enthusiasts who really lay their heart on the concrete. But it's hard to believe they had to use fillers that were not extreme or which were just a bigger version of a smaller stage act. I felt the finale was a let-down. Simon seems to not know who his audience is or didn't have enough actual extreme talent enter the show. Those that were truly extreme didn't all make it to the finals (who the heck are the super fans who have been doing this horrible judging for far too long in this franchise? GET RID OF THEM!). The series wrapped up so fast, it was like they decided to end it early.

So. Boring.
capitalonetracy26 March 2022
Lame acts. Most of the people are doing dumb things for clout. The judges deserve better performers. So much of the snow is cringe/hard to watch... so incredibly boring, some of the acts people do reminds me of a little immature kid trying to be funny.

Fan of AGT but....

Warning: Spoilers
This just felt like Simon set up his friend to win. What a joke, there are cage riding motorcycles all over the place and they shouldn't even have gotten a golden buzzer never mind top 4 or top 2 with a dude who used to be a motorcycle guy but now is a wheelchair jumper... meanwhile, real talent just dismissed. After they announce too 2 I shut it off as the other acts in the top 4 were at least 10x more talented, more extreme, and more entertaining.

Three episodes in, and I'm wondering...
Top_Dawg_Critic8 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
...how bad Terry and the judge's clothes must stink... I mean they've been wearing the same duds for 3 weeks! They do switch up outfits during the judges challenges, but then go back into the same stinky outfits. Isn't that a little extreme? (ya see what I did there lol?)

Now about this show... it's awesome! How the few wannabe critics on here gave this a low review baffles me. It has great entertainment value - even just watching the judges and Terry having fun. The production alone is on a much grander scale than any of the AGT's, and the outdoor setting is a refreshing change. There were some great, surprising and hilarious acts. I'm either smiling, laughing, cringing, shocked or in awe. I'll even admit a few acts gave me paranoia - especially Cyndel on the breakaway swaypole where I got vertigo when she was up so high. There are also many touching stories behind some of the acts, and that just makes this show that much more interesting and entertaining. It's a shame it's only 4 episodes, because I want more. I didn't know what to expect when they announced this show, but I got more that I expected and really enjoying it. Even showing the acts like a video game avatar is genius. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.

Simply boring
supermellowcali9 March 2022
Surprising that they thought this show would work since the daredevil acts are the least interesting part of AGT, but also surprising just how unexciting it turned out given how fun and popular AGT is. This show extremely slow moving and the content is almost all just talking, with nothing interesting imo... just people trying to get attention with more height, more speed and more fire. Yawn. And that's without any ads... I can't even imagine trying to sit through it with pharma commercials in between! Anyone who likes this sort of entertainment would do much better watching YouTube vids. Avoid.

Go Big x 10
trimblair8 March 2022
Our new favorite show on TV! This stuff is insane. No woke politics, just insane stunts! One crazy after the other. And Pastrada as a judge? Brilliant!

Check it out!

Absolutely positively HORRIBLE!! So stupid Simon even YOU should be ashamed OBVIOUS CASH GRAB!!
joiningjt1 March 2022
This isnt a television show it's a hour long pile of garbage. They had an act tonight where a guy drove his bike through some fire with his grandmother on the back of his bike 1st off it wasnt dangerous that WAS OBVIOUS 2nd it looked absolutely STUPID and to end it all all 3 judges ACTED like they just saw 2 people jump off the Empire state building. I love AGT but this is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. NBC better wake up or they're going to lose us ACTUAL REAL VIEWERS!!! Simon you have enough cash!!! STOP!!!! Its by FAR THE WORST TV show I've ever seen I'd rather watch an hour long Trump speech...oh maybe not but close!!!

Dredging the bottom of the barrel
jaredd20 March 2022
Granted, there were a few acts that you might be able to consider "Extreme", but in general most weren't even up to the level of what I see at my local home town fair. There WAS an Extreme amount of show-time padding going on, with the proceedings just dragging on and on.

I'm guessing Simon's piggy bank was getting a little low from the pandemic and so he cooked this up. I fast forwarded through most of it. Probably just skip it.

Definitely a must miss
bkatz-300321 March 2022
I love AGT, but this AGT Extreme is a must miss. I watched the first episode and I barely got through it. 2 hours of circus act stunts. Keep AGT but please get rid of this version. Waste of time.

talent show or sympathy show?
arashtorouseh7 April 2022
Probably you better off to skip about half of it and shut it down before final, not a fair judgement and most of the act was exactly what you see on social media.

Overall it's certainly not a competition but an average entertainment show with some wrong decisions which leads to a disaster final.

What were they thinking?
wingthwong19 July 2022
I thought this was going to be fun, but ended up being a total waste. Let's get professional stunt carnis to come on the show. Let's get worse acts than other acts in the same strain and move them to the top, let's show repeat content... Over and over, let's have more ad time than actual show. You didn''t show us more performances by the acts that moved on. You did waste a whole episode using "stupor fans" to judge. You did show a poor schlub try twice in the one of only two finale performances, yet still made us cringe at home. You did show us the professional stunt carnis do a finale performance that reminded me of a pretty lame show I saw 40 years ago. The rest was filler and flip. All were eligible for the darwin awards. Only a couple acts should have been able to pass, and it sure wasn't the ones chosen. Come on, the big stunts made nice filler in the regular AGT show a few years ago. Now for the kicker. If you are going to be judges on an extreme AGT, you better either own the show, like Simon, actually be a stunt performer like the creator of Nitro Circus, or have a great personality like T. C. Simon, please stop hiring bimbos as the female judge. It's like on the regular show. Heidi never had talent, and she just wastes space. And Howie is a bimbo as well, who acts more moody and disingenuous than any female than any talentless bimbo that has ever been on the show. Howie was once funny, but has turned into an arrogant gint that lets his phobias judge an act before common sense. Wl, there is now one bimbo to rule them all. This WWE tasteless trash been around the block bimbo, has never done anything extreme, wouldn't know what extreme was if it hit her in her hawkbilled nose, and couldn't act her way out of wet toilet tissue. A piece of stale moldy cardboard has more personality. I hope their is a 100% improvement before a next season, or better yet, don't make another season. Oh, and for the regular show. Next time Howie phobias someone, make him read his contract and get him off the show. Hasn't been funny since his cocaine days. Heidi, you were a stick figure model. A manequin in a Goodwill could replace you, and everyone would be happier. Please Simon, fans from the beginning. Real fans in our household. Not "stupor fans". Get the AGT shows back on track. This is a dismal year in the making.

Carnival Sideshow
bhowell_me1 March 2022
This show reminds me of those carnival sideshows where they charge you a few bucks to watch Carnies do some dumb tricks. Save your money (and time) and skip this show...

The best talent is the judges fake acting
quockquock22 June 2022
The judges fake reactions are the best thing about the show. Howie always manages to act surprised when someone hits a high note, or does a back flip or something. Terry's fake reactions are sickening. They have all seen literally thousands of acts and they just seem so fake when they react. Simon is horrible when watching him listen to a singer. He acts like tilting his head and putting a few fingers on his jaw will bring in the sound clearer. Enough!

Cut short, poor production, DID NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE ACCIDENT THAT PARALYZED A CONTESTANT!!
alpinetribe15 August 2022
I actually went out of my way to get an IMDb account..... to voice my opinion.

1. Why was Travis even allowed to be a judge when he was involved with many of the acts?

2.. Some of the acts were low grade side shows I wouldn't pay 2 dollars for.

3. Nitro circus acts.... Why on this show?

4. Did not even acknowledge the act that paralyzed a contestant!?!? Not even a name, time of silence, typed words on the screen! Just oh well..... 5. Top acts were overall just paid for it seemed.

6. Stay out of extreme anything... you can not do it.
