Ok. Time to review a show that needs absolutely no explanation. Only Connect.
A good game show should have entertainment, humour, an audience and the ability to either play along at home or be able to watch the show for the whole run time.
This has none of it.
Only Connect has a host who would make the Annoying Orange roll away, a lack of humour (or humour that most people won't understand), no audience whatsoever or maybe an audience that you would expect from a boring TEDTalk or a bad stand up, and there's no way 100% of the audience could play along at home because not everyone knows about the difference between paint colours or the dates of when books were destroyed in wars or whatever. It's a game show where you NEED knowledge, luck won't get you anywhere. The upside is the Wall. It's a cool round where you have the best chance of getting somewhere at home. In fact, there's a website called PuzzGrid where there are different Walls you can play.
My recommendation: don't watch unless you know as much as Albert Einstein and you want to be bored. I, for one, wouldn't be seen dead wanting to look at Egyptian hieroglyphics for an hour.
2/10.
