Million Dollar Secret

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.

6 episodes in, I'm giving this show a generous 9 stars because it delivers where it matters most: entertainment. It's a fun watch, and I've genuinely enjoyed it.

That said, there are a couple of issues with the game itself.

This is one of those reality shows where the producers seem to have immense power to tip the scales however they like-handing out advantages or disadvantages to players as they see fit.

Want an early millionaire with heat on them to stay in the game? Give them an easy secret agenda with the reward of moving the money. Want a millionaire to go home? Give the winning team a hint that practically spells it out.

Of course, producer interference is par for the course in reality TV-but it's a bit next level here. There have already been a few questionable moments, one in particular that felt especially egregious.

Another flaw in the game design: there's no real incentive for identifying the millionaire early. If the group were 100% sure who it was from the start, they'd actually be better off not voting them out-because all that does is transfer the million to someone else (randomly, supposedly) and reset everyone back to square one. There should be some reward or bonus for correctly voting out the millionaire early-maybe $10K for each person who got it right.

All that aside, it's the kind of guilty pleasure I'm here for. I've enjoyed it a lot so far. Perfect for a lazy weekend binge.

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!

I usually skip reality shows. Actually, don't watch them at all (since first Big brother season) but this was a good surprise. Only bothered me too much repetitions in interviews and, in my opinion, players weren't treated equally. You could have guessed who is going to tha final. Also, some conversations seemed staged. But despite that - ok, it was interesting show and it is good watching when you need to relax. Players were kinda interesting and I hope there would be more of it, but little bit upgraded, with better tasks for players and more natural conversations and situations so I gave this rating to boost moral.
