Siren: Try not to get killed

Siren: Survive the Island 24 female police officers, firefighters, bodyguards, soldiers, athletes and stuntwomen team up by profession to compete for survival on a remote island in this Korean reality competition. Six 4-woman teams each must defend their own base daily while trying to capture another team's base, but also must compete in "arena challenges" to earn prizes and base-capture privileges.
I'm equally enthralled and worried by this show. I love the concept, the complete lack of a host getting in the way, and the interpersonal dynamics of each team (the stuntwomen's mutual support! the firefighter who powered through to protect her leader!). The worrying part is the danger - for example, in an early episode the teams had to chop wood as fast as they can, and it was clear that only a few had ever chopped wood before. That at least 18 of the women have hand-to-hand combat training and all 24 appear to be willing, able, and authorized to tackle enemy team-members just adds to this.
That being said, I sort of want Sergeant Kang to step on me.
Available on Netflix in Canada, so probably Netflix in other countries, too.
