The Sky version attempted to script personalities for the Gladiators (there's a GladPod episode with Enigma and Doom, and another with Wolf, which mentions this) - a stark contrast to the original series where a lot of the 'persona' of gladiator came down to the gladiator's reaction to being o camera. For example, Jet's famous 'leg guitar' and hair flips was a reaction to not knowing what to do when the camera came on to her. Wolf's persona was him playing up for the camera, as was Siren's cheekiness.
I'm hoping the production take notes and let the Gladiators be themselves rather than characters- that was a big factor to why the Sky version felt mean spirited at times
