Four contestants take turns answering trivia questions and they have an option to cheat if they don't know the answer. Meaning, there is a hidden button they can press which will reveal the answer to them on their screen and the pot is communal. But if another player correctly accuses them of cheating, it gives them a better chance to advance to the next round and they can choose who gets eliminated. In the final round, giving a wrong answer means a sudden game over, so does incorrectly calling someone out on a cheat. I found the questions a bit too easy, but that was funny because they reveal to the viewers when people cheated and it was more frequent than I thought. People even made up lies to explain how they "knew" the answers to make themselves seem more believable when called out. It was a kind of frustrating to watch the smartest people lose to stupid people who could just hide their body language better, but that's part of the fun.

The live studio audience gives it a 90s feel, as well as the setting. The comedy is often mature and childish at the same time. I don't mind they replaced the actor who plays Koji. I hope it gets a season 3 and more. It reminds me of Doc Martin because they sometimes deal with medical stuff, but it also has a Friday Night Dinner vibe.

A must-see for any fans of Jack Whitehall, Eva Longoria, and Stephen Graham. My only complaint is it's only three episodes!
