They have something here, the bones of it anyway. The season unfolds as different approaches and ideas are tried out and we find that .some things work and some don't.
The practical jokes are done well though and the show isn't afraid to make mistakes . The panel is actually great since I wasn't too sure about wanting to spend time with any of these three , however over a few episodes I have cone to appreciate what each brings to the panel. The commonality appears to be that each is a polarizing personality , each funny in their own right. They are not there to be so funny or to become a favorite but more about how they jive together and what their diversity ( comedic and otherwise ) brings to scene.
The season experiments with the details and development ( which don't always work but that's okay and it's interesting ) yet the premise remains consistent . They are there to orchestrate a prank for the right person if they so choose . Nothing is cruel no one is harmed and we have a chance to see the participants before and after their prank has played out.
Each of the pranks are personalized and a good deal of care goes into each. Not everyone who approaches the panel has a good prank idea or a deserving 'mark ' which is also part of the show.
This is a family show, it's not over the top .
The opening montage ,I can't stand personally ,so I go to lengths to skip that every time. While I originally felt compelled to skip ahead to the pranks , the build up and choices are valuable and we can invest in the prank unfolding ,as viewers.
I really hope there is second season as there is something here and we have been appreciating it ! Every episode is different to some extent ,so if some aspect doesn't hit its because it's working itself out .
Give it a shot . There isn't anything else quite like it , as it's a sort of cross between a game show and prank show.
I went from an 8 to a 9 because of all the shows we are watching ( and trying to remember that we are watching ) this is the one we looked foreword too this one after a grueling journey .
