Million Dollar Secret

Firstly, to address my main gripe with Million Dollar Secret, I personally think a million dollars is an obscene amount of money to offer as a prize for winning a gameshow that lasts only 8 episodes. If it was just $100K it wouldn't make any difference to the watchability of it and that's still a life-changing sum of money. The issue with stupendous prize money is that you really want someone deserving and likeable to win it, but reality show contestants are very often the opposite, especially after they've been forced to lie and deceive in acts of sheer selfishness in order to win. It hardly endears them to the viewer.

Anyway, with that out of the way I do like the concept. 12 players have a box, but only one contains the cash. At the end of each episode there is a Traitors-esque banishment in which the players try to eliminate the current 'millionaire' in order to randomly shift the cash to another persons box (preferably their own!).

Along the way there are games and challenges with a chance of rewards and secrets for those who win, to help them either follow the money or hang on to it.

On the whole I'm enjoying it, it's entertaining and it fills a gap until the next season of The Traitors!

Besides the amazing host I love the scenery and the nature where they filmed this show- in a stunning waterfront villa in Canada. At the start of the game, the players move into a stunning lakeside estate called The Stag. The private chateau sits on 44 beautifully kept acres in Kelowna, Canada.

Also I like the game itself; the millionaire must hide in plain sight and evade elimination to keep the money and win the game. Very tense, sometimes funny, sometimes surprising. And in order to keep the prize, the new millionaire needs to keep their identity secret for the duration of the game, and the other 11 contestants are tasked with figuring out the millionaire's identity.

I had so much fun watching, they all had funniest reactions and stress coping mechanisms.. when some cried their eyes out others would stuff their faces with spaghetti:)))

Some say this is just a "shameless version" of the traitors but some haven't seen the traitors obviously, because this show has its own charm!

For one person to have the million dollars and have to keep that secret throughout awhile completing agendas in plain sight is awesome!!

Also another thing people complain about the traitors for is its only celebrities only, this show has your average joe and they're likeable actually!

And the host is charming and pretty awesome and he's likeable..

Overall this is a great fresh idea and it's only 3 episodes so far but it's great and has so much potential to become its own yearly show like the traitors..

Give it a try and don't let critics sway your mind before watching.

Bored and nothing worthy to watch. So decided to watch this show, and so pleased that I did.

Firstly Peter Serafinowicz as the shows host was a class act and delivered an amazing performance.

The show content was really good with twists and turns, keeping you guessing or shouting at the tv in happy frustration.

I binge watched this because I was hooked and back to being bored at the poor tv Netflix is releasing I hope they will make a second season and quickly.

Give it a whirl, I hope you won't be disappointed I wasn't. Just give it the chance it deserves.

Role on a second season 9/10 perfection.

This is the most engaging show I've ever watched so far. I finished the whole show just by a night binge watching it. There were so many plot twists in the show and you can't really guess who the millionaire was. The missions in the games were quite interesting. Accomplishing those missions allow the millionaire to have a power in the game and that made the show even more interesting. The host also did a very good job in moderating the show. I just love his voice tone and poker face. His contribution in the show is overwhelming. The production was superb and managed to keep you feel excited for the entire show.
