What critics are saying

Score 85 /100

Critics greeted the 2022 reimagining of The Mole with enthusiasm, praising its return as a cerebral yet physical reality competition. Reviewers commended the series for delivering high-stakes drama driven by mind games, strategic depth, and unpredictable sabotages. The central concept—where players must decipher who is genuine and who is playing a double game—was frequently noted as offering endless strategic possibilities that keep viewers thoroughly invested.

Multiple reviews highlighted the addictive nature of the reboot, pointing to solid challenge designs and host Alex Wagner's strong presence as key strengths. While some critics noted minor critiques regarding the show's self-awareness or heated contestant confrontations, the general consensus praised the series as a highly satisfying and fun watch that honors the sophistication of the original format.

“Completely hooked, I enjoyed watching each contestant grow, develop, and fail, and I had no idea who the mole was and was shocked by the ending.”

““The Mole” hits a different but powerfully satisfying note with its convoluted challenges, mind games, and sabotage.”

“The overall series offers a fun watch for folks old enough to handle it.”

“The challenge design is solid, and Wagner has the makings of a strong host.”
