kara is obsessed with "nailed it," another one of the shockingly low budget netflix game shows that it's pumping out. it's so deranged and weird that i almost can't watch it, but sometime delivers moments of tv like i've never seen before, like when one guest judge (one of the guys from super troopers?) gets a phone call, while taping, and then leaves the set to go pick up his kid from school??? and they just left it in??? it's wild

Forged in Fire is a bladesmithing competition show where mostly cosplay nerds and old rednecks make swords which are then tested by an "edge weapon specialist" which usually involves him whaling on a giant hunk of meat. It may not sound like it but somehow it's incredibly wholesome and weirdly inspirational.
