Review of Lego Masters

Lego Masters (2020– )
7/10
Playful Competition
6 February 2020
"Lego Masters" is a competition show in which ten teams of two builders each compete for $100,000. In the pilot, host Will Arnett introduces the two judges and explains the concept of the "golden brick"---awarded to the winner of the day's competition, it gives that team immunity from elimination when redeemed.

The teams are extremely diverse, from all demographics. And there is a variety of relationships: newlyweds, father-son teams, fellow cosplayers, etc.

The first episode had the teams building theme parks over the course of 15 hours. That sounds like plenty of time, but they needed all of it to design, build and motorize their themed amusement parks.

The tone of the show is light and humorous, thanks in large part to host Arnett. But the teams are very serious about winning and displaying their talents. Lego-philes should love it. For anyone who likes creative play, this is great fun.
