This is a good one.

Holds the spirit of the original BBC version, but with its own unique twist.

It was smart, funny, well rounded and well written. Roy Wood Jr. As the host was absolute genius casting. They've also done a very good job picking guest team members/comedians/personalities to be on the teams.

Interestingly, this show has a unique approach in that the questions just basically provide as a jumping off point for the jokes, but they're also very interestingly constructed game play as well.

The way they approach topics is very refreshing & wonderfully light hearted.

Top notch show all around.

What happens when you combine an infomercial with a game show? You get wish list games. This show is nothing more than 30 minute blocks of the worlds worst infomercial disguised as a game show for Amazon. The games are uninspired and boring. This is absolutely nothing more than shameless, pointless self promotion for Amazon. I normally like most of Amazon's original programming, but this is nothing short of an absolute embarrassment. Amazon has some good programming, and even better have shows than this. This is just bad from start to finish. Watched 2 episodes, and will not watch more. Really bad.

Instead of the stale sitcom premise constantly offered up by most of the major networks, this is a fresh take on school life in the early to mid 2000's, much in the same vein as Abbott Elementary. Kudos to FX for tackling important issues head on, and presenting it in a real, palatable light.

This show has started off showing real grit and common sense on telling its story. Not shying away from the very real issues that are common place in an ever changing world. Nor are they playing to the hackish stereotypes of the LGBTQIA community, teachers or students.

The writing is smart, the storylines solid, the characters are believable and relatable. Really hope FX gives this show the legs to really run.
