Double-edged records for Beijing Express 2024

Beijing Express 2024: Records, but not necessarily glorious

\n\nThe 2024 edition of Beijing Express, M6's flagship show, was marked by records. Unfortunately, not everyone testifies to its unwavering success. A low audience, controversies and a criticized edition made this season a chaotic soap opera.\n\n

An audience record… on the decline

\n\nWith only 1.8 million viewers on average for this 2024 season, Beijing Express marks the lowest point in its history. A descent which has unfortunately continued for several years for the show which focused on adventure and the discovery of distant lands. The public's appeal for this type of program seems to be running out of steam, despite production efforts to bring something new and original each year. \n\n

Serial controversies

\n\nThis season of Beijing Express 2024 was also marked by various controversies. Between suspicion of rigging, questionable behavior of certain candidates and accusations of mishandling towards the production team, the show has been under the spotlight of criticism. Notoriety which could have boosted audiences, but which ultimately only pushed the program further into a negative spiral.\n\n

A criticized edition

\n\nGenerally speaking, the 2024 edition of Beijing Express did not convince. The choice of course, the candidates selected, the conduct of the tests... many criticisms have been leveled at this edition. The usually loyal audience expressed its discontent and growing disinterest in the show.\n\nSo, of course, the chaotic journey of Beijing Express 2024 is also punctuated by some beautiful moments of adventure and solidarity, but also breathtaking landscapes and cultural discoveries. It remains to be seen whether these moments of grace will be enough to convince the public to come back for a future edition and thus allow the show to regain its television health. \n\n
