I thought this show was going to be a lot of fun. I'm truly disappointed to report that it's just not that good.
The show is filled to the brim with artificial excitement...and it's exhausting to watch. As a former game show producer, I may be too critical of this show, but it looks to me like it's way over produced (audience and contestants are very conditioned to act a certain way rather than relying on authenticity).
Another issue I have is that the games are chock full of reveals, but you don't know what they mean until it's explained. This takes away all suspense, and suspense is the lifeblood of a good game show.
In short, it feels like I'm watching an hour worth of nonsense.
