This is another US remake that was produced by people who either just read about or watched and didn't like the UK original. They've managed to remove everything that makes the UK version good and produce a tedious simulacrum.

In the UK there are four contestants, the questions in the cash builder are quicker and a little easier, but only worth £1000 each so there's a range of scores from £1000-£10000, which makes the high and low offers matter. Say you score £5000, the low offer will be £1000 and the high probably £30000. On this it's $25000 a question, and most players get 2 or 3 right, the low offer is half and the high offer rarely more than double. At those levels it's never worth the risk, there's no jeopardy - ironically.

By cutting the number of contestants they've lost all the pace of the original and filled the time with wooden dialogue from the host.

There's nothing good about it. Do yourself a favour and look for the UK one and watch that instead. It's fast paced, it's funny, it's slick, it's everything this show is not. This is just shiny and empty.

score 2/10
