Great show! Not just in what they create, but shows the forgers' characters and dedication.

A very entertaining scripted show. it feels very scripted because the contestants have a side interview with a comment on things that happens as it happens. it feels fake. it's actually very irritating when a voice over repeats the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again. the downfall of a credible show. Forged in fire is fake but non the less still very entertaining. i would like to see Bushcraft knives. all the challenges involve making extremely limited useless knives in the real world. every knife requirement at the start of every show involves weapons and not hunting or camping knives.

Except for the host will, the guy comes off like a huge "douche" and his wardrobe choices make him look SO lame! His greasy lame hairstyle ? wow so pro... NOT. He may be a good soldier or whatever but NOT a good TV guy really..... They really dropped the ball on casting the whole host role.other than that I really dig the show .. its cool .. just can't stand Will!!

I can only give my opinion here, so this is what I think of this show. It is Fantastic! Finally a reality show that doesn't have the competitors back-stabbing, sh@t-talking, bullying, manipulating, or sabotaging each other. It seems to be a real competition with real people doing their best to win, instead of relying on someone else's failure to advance them through to the finale. Still... that does happen. A competitor may not be familiar with the materials or the time limits, even so, it's a fun show to watch. Very entertaining for me and my family. Thank you for reading my humble review.
