Entertaining and novel game show, although there have been games shows based on lying before. For what it is it's good fun although the questions seem a bit random, obscure even. I guess the whole point of the show is the contestants don't know the answers and hence have to lie to win but half the fun of game shows is to answer the questions at home. As it's a US show the questions have an American bias but even so the contestants answer more wrong than correct.
There's some entertainment and one-liners with having Howie Mandel as a host - but this isn't the most interesting concept for a game show. If you're looking for a faster paced show, then I would have to steer people towards "The Chase". I might give this a couple more episodes to see how it pans out, but I don't see much potential.
I think it would be a bit more interesting if the contestant isn't aware of whether their answer is right or wrong after they lock in their answer. If their answer is right, there's no additional incentive in doing an explanation, since they win the money free and clear.

I love game shows!! Although a lot of the questions had to do with the US only, I still feel like I have learned something new (which I always appreciate).
The concept if this game is fun and entertaining.. a bit out of the box. A litte bit different from other game shows, just like the british show "Pointless" who's also different from the normal type of game show.
Howie Mandel did an excellent job at hosting this show. He's a funny guy. The contestants was a mix of all different kinds of people, which is nice.
I watched all of the episodes today, and it has boosted my mood a little bit. So thanks netflix and Howie, this was a funny show, and I hope for a second season.

The concept of the show is kinda dumb. What I will say is that Howie is a great host, and the contestants are overall pretty entertaining.
However, if only one person believes the player throughout all the questions, that player wins the million? I get that the other contestants are trying to play themselves, but it feels... I don't know, messy.
I will keep watching since it's pretty fun.

It is a nice concept to see a solo player go head to head against three contestants who play for accuracy. Outside of this however the format is somewhat flawed.

Not one time in the entire season do any of the contestants call BS because they know the actual answer to the trivia question, and sometimes they were really obvious. This may be by design/producers insisting they don't do it, but I call BS.

I was very excited to watch the show and eagerly out it on. I have found the show itself is flawed in many ways and very slow and monotonous. I forced myself to watch a second episode but my family and myself could not take it anymore.

Only 2 episodes in and doesn't seem logical that they can come up with a story just like that for every question whether they are bs'ing or not. And if they're wrong on some pretty simple questions you're telling me none of the 3 contestants actually knows the answer? Throw in the fake audience noise and just not an enjoyable show.

I saw a developmental psychologist talking about men and women; he was explaining that, generally speaking, men are concerned/care about details, while women are concerned/care about people.
Watching this show I keep seeing that play out over and over. The men call BS when the details don't add up, the women call BS when the people don't.
8/10 Fun gameshow. More interactive version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

The title says it all. All questions asked are very local and specific to the United States so it's probably well suited to only a specific target audience. Don't know why Netflix even bothers airing this across the globe.

Love that it doesn't matter how smart you are or your trivia knowledge, what matters is if you can BS! I wanna play this! Other review is wrong, first contestant shows how it doesn't matter what you know but what you can make people think you know!

I think something went wrong, because they misspelled the name of the show since I believe it should have been The Bullsh*t Gameshow. They keep adding rules, it has this fake vibe because of the laughing record and the way some of the competitors overact and it's just not that funny.

There is so much filler between each question. It takes 4-5 minutes from the start to even begin each episode, it didn't hold my attention more than a few minutes.
Painfully slow and not engaging, and then the gameplay itself is just odd. A group of contestants could easily work together to scam this show.
Anyone want to make a million dollars? ;)

Even reality game show need some suspensions of disbelief. The game show's idea is solid but contestants and they way things are presented are way too fake to enjoy it.
I just hate game shows! I swear, some of those have been on my entire life, and I'M 53! Even now I hear some of those theme songs and I cringe. So I avoided them.
I got pulled back into game shows with the release of "LOL: Last One Laughing Canada". I didn't see it as a game show. With Bullsh't, It has more of a game show feel. But the game is about bluffing, who's better at it, men or women?
The only thing that could make the game show any better would be Hollywood Stars and money to charity.

When the contestant is calling BS, I find it strange that not one of the other 3 know the correct answer to call their BS. Not once did this happen. Frustrating that even simple answers are BS and no one calls it logically (knowing the answer themselves). I only kept watching because I love trivia, but doubt I'll make it to season 2 if there even is one.

I love Howie Mandel - but this show is bad!!! It's just more typical Netflix junk! I don't know exactly when Netflix jumped the shark - but they sure did! Netflix has totally left quality on the curb! They somehow decided that having low quality junk programming would work as long as they have A LOT of it!
I've never came across with this theme in trivias before. I really like the idea of the show which is selling the truth is more important than actually knowing the truth. It's so fun to watch and try to read the contestants yourself. And Howie is a good host, he is entertaining.
The game show had me saying to myself " if this person says the answer is right and they believed them, this show is so fake!" I said question to myself almost every episode.
