WWE: Unreal gives the audience unprecedented access, going backstage with WWE Superstars and staff as they bring the company’s biggest spectacles to life from the Royal Rumble to WrestleMania. Go to Full Review

Unreal was created to attract new wrestling fans, but there’s still enough behind-the-scenes intrigue to make this an absolute must-watch for the day ones. Go to Full Review

While the series offers plenty of technical, surface-level insights, there aren’t any revelations in WWE: Unreal that can’t be found in the average wrestler’s backstage vlog. Go to Full Review

Netflix’s WWE: Unreal is a fascinating, deeply engaging look into the wrestling business that balances personal storytelling with behind-the-scenes revelations. Go to Full Review

If you already love WWE, you’ll love seeing how they create the magic. If you’ve never given it the chance, you’ll gain a deeper respect for pro wrestling as an art form. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
...just as Unreal is completely unwilling to utter the acronym “AEW”, it’s also reluctant to admit what it’s selling and who it’s trying to sell it to. Go to Full Review

Schmiddi T @Schmiddi Jan 28 After 10 years of no real and good backstage show about the WWE, this show is perfect. I used to love Total Divas back then and now we have another great behind the scenes show. I hope theres more seasons to come. The Cena story and everything thats going on in the bloodline or judgment day. See more Laurian D @Laurian Jan 22 Absolutely loved it. The effort that is being put into the shows that are meant to satisfy our primordial needs for violence in a safe environment is incredible, it made me respect the wrestlers even more, as well as all the crew members, from camera men to referees and creative staff. Some people criticize wrestling for being "fake". I for one thank God it's scripted in such a beautifully convincing way and love to think that if it weren't UnREAL, we wouldn't actually watch it. These athletes are already taking enough risks as it is. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Sep 2 It's a sad state of affairs that so many people enjoy a fake sport. It gives these fake wrestlers an ego that is larger than their steroid muscles. See more Leland N @RT40509979 Aug 31 Fun show, would recommend. See more Keith A. @Firebird88 Aug 16 Those who still believe in kayfabe will not like this but if you want to get a peek behind the curtain while also still believing, then this is the show for you. Getting a behind the scenes look at WWE and a look at their superstars in and out of the ring enhances the experience of watching WWE. Best of all, it’s a one-day binge so it won’t take long to complete watching it. Cannot wait for season 2! See more Tony T @RT77226902 Aug 15 I think this is a great experience of the WWE universe -- it's not a warts and all doc, but it gives another shading to the in-ring storytelling. Fun to see the production and camera elements. See more Read all reviews
