There are a lot of very funny, very talented people involved in this show and yet, somehow, it's still extremely bad. I really wanted to like this because many of the people involved (including Tomlinson) are quite funny. I was hoping this would be like some of the really great British panel shows (things like 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Would I Lie To You? Etc) but it's genuinely difficult to sit through this painfully unfunny show. The jokes feel scripted, the laughter feels forced, nothing about this feels organic and fun - the way a good panel show *should* feel - and the whole thing just doesn't justify its existence at all. I cannot imagine this will last more than one season.
