Right now you can watch BattleBots in Australia on ABC iview, and in the US on fuboTV and HBO Max Amazon Channel — and it is more addictive than the premise lets on. 9 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 55 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. The casting and pacing are what separate this from the rest of the genre. Start it on ABC iview whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, BattleBots earns its spot. The production behind BattleBots knows exactly which moments to let breathe. 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. Chris Rose and Kenny Florian bring the kind of presence that makes the format work. The series ran for 9 seasons (2015–2023), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The format has been replicated endlessly since BattleBots first appeared, which is its own form of tribute. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

BattleBots is impossible to watch casually — expect strong opinions. If you have already watched The Challenge, BattleBots is a natural next step. 9 seasons gives the story real room to develop. Chris Rose is a big part of why it works, but the format itself is the real star. The kind of thing that generates strong opinions in every room it is watched in.

BattleBots is currently airing new episodes, created by Edward P. Roski and Greg Munson — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
