An Anti-Depressive Journey

An Anti-Depressive Journey
According to the trailer, 25% of young people suffers from disorders related to depression, and almost half of them have problems with stress. The new adventure reality show The Life Trail starts from these premises. It premiered last 6th October on Netherlands-based streamer Videoland, produced by SimpelZodiak, that developed it together with RTL Creative Unit, a sibling of Videoland.

Three hosts (the actors Nasrdin Dchar and Walid Benmbarek, with Erik Wegewijs, a former member of the Royal Netherlands Army’s elite special forces unit, pic above) follow eight young people as they embark on a life-changing adventure through Switzerland to improve their psychological wellbeing and overcome their greatest challenges. At the end of the show each person that completes the trip will be able to open their bespoke prize, a gift designed to spark their dreams.
The series, above all thanks to the breathtaking and extremely various Swiss landscapes, seems quite interesting and enjoyable. Just a couple of notes on the fly. First, the premise of the show is just a premise, without much entering in the story, remaining a bit in the background compared to the usual extreme trials.
Second, in this kind of show there are no differences at all between streamers and “traditional” linear channels (see, for example, the other 2 recent surviving/adventure shows: the German 7 vs Wild or Good Luck Guys: Overleven Zonder Filter, from Benelux); and this is absolutely no criticism, just a fact.
