Season 1 Review:
Is it beyond stupid? Yes, and happy to embrace the fact that no brain power is required to watch. There’s no true crime to solve, no political drama that feels uncomfortably close to the bone, no real-life Senate hearings or scary North Korean missile tests. Just people and the games they play, with witty commentary from judges and utter weirdness from maybe-Myers.

Season 1 Review:
From the host to the acts to the infamous gong signaling a bad act worthy of banishment, the revival is a constant exercise in trolling, leaving us unsure who's in on the joke and who's the butt of it. ... Myers never fully connects with viewers, and doesn’t let us in on the Tommy Maitland joke. ... Gong does manage to elicit laughs, depending on how much you buy into it.
