What We Are the Champions is like, and who it is for
What it is like to watch
Watching this series feels like a gentle, whimsical tour of human obsession. The pacing is brisk, fitting its half-hour format, and the tone is consistently bright and appreciative. Rather than mocking its subjects, it captures the genuine tension of these fringe sports—from cheese rolling to dog dancing—with a surprisingly cinematic flair that heightens the stakes of every eccentric victory.
Who it is for, and who should skip it
It is ideal for viewers who enjoy seeing the extraordinary side of ordinary people or those needing a mental palate cleanser. Those who prefer hard-hitting, investigative documentaries will find this far too slight and saccharine. A notable caveat is that the brevity of the episodes means you rarely get a deep psychological dive into the competitors beyond their immediate hobby.
The right evening for it
This suits a low-stakes evening where you want something colourful and bite-sized. It is perfect for a relaxed wind-down when you need to be reminded that the world is still wonderfully weird.
