Viewers too young to remember Wife Swap might like it. I’m sure it will pop up on Gogglebox. For the rest of us, it’s the kind of show you watch for easy entertainment when you’ve been scrolling through the channels and can’t find anything else. Go to Full Review
James Delingpole The Spectator Mar 12
The show is billed as a ‘social experiment’ but really it’s just another crass reality game show doing the usual crass reality-show thing of yoking together disparate individuals in the hope that they will be entertainingly horrible to one another. Go to Full Review
