This heart-stopping competition series, from executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, pits ordinary people against professional investigators. The contestants are given a briefcase containing $100,000 and have one hour to hide it. The detectives then have 48 hours to find the briefcase. The detectives are able to work with professional interrogators. Other than that, all they have to go on are cell-phone records, receipts and GPS coordinates from the contestants' car. If the detectives find the briefcase within the 48 hours, they keep the cash. If not, the contestants get the money.

Apparently Raoul is the only one who understands that this is a game. Keep the money and run like hell if you're tired of reality shows that border on surreality. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 08/28/2020
"Homicide" this isn't. Still, the show (slated for a six-episode summer flight) represents a breezy diversion, with obvious potential to return and plug a gap left by a canceled series come fall. Go to Full Review Jon Caramanica New York Times 08/28/2020
It's the true apotheosis of the police state. The officers are made to look like underdogs - that's exactly what they want you to think. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 08/28/2020

The show offers some entertaining moments, but the endless interrogation sessions take away from some of the excitement the series is trying to generate. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
