BattleBots Season 9

one of the newer arrivals worth your time, BattleBots Season 9 is currently streaming on and with a 7/10 audience score that speaks for itself. 6 episodes — the right length to tell the story it is telling. Television that earns its era label is rarer than the number of shows attempting it suggests — most of what gets called prestige TV is really just expensive TV. BattleBots Season 9 is one of the genuine examples: the craft is there in the writing, the performances, and the way it handles its subject matter. Chris Rose's involvement signals the kind of production that attracts serious talent and uses it properly. Available now on streaming — no excuses left for not watching it.

Originally commissioned by ABC, BattleBots Season 9 quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. BattleBots promises to wow viewers with next generation robots—bigger, faster and stronger than ever before. The show will focus on the design and build of each robot, the bot builder backstories, their intense pursuit of the championship and the spectacle of the event. It aired in 2023. The format has been replicated endlessly since BattleBots Season 9 first aired, which is its own form of tribute. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Impossible to watch casually. Perfect for viewers who enjoy forming strong opinions about strangers they have never met. The format has been copied endlessly since BattleBots Season 9 first aired, which is the most honest tribute the television industry knows how to give. The run is focused enough that the format never has a chance to go stale. Available on streaming right now — the kind of show that disappears an evening without you noticing, and then disappears another one when you realise you have started the next series.
