It's actually pretty boring in the US as well. As an attorney, it's always interesting to see US law school applications increase if a "sexy" legal drama becomes popular on TV. I feel bad for those applicants, because

The workouts, including P90X, were great. The MLM part, which you and I may not have been aware of, was on the coaching side. Coaches would try to recruit other coaches to be downstream of them, and so on. Part of it was also selling the
