Fifteen UK singles are transported into a US high school environment, where they date their classmates in hope of finding "the one". However, dating won't be the only thing on their minds as the crowning of Prom Royalty comes with a $100,000 prize.
Lindsay Lohan narrates this reality TV show seeing a group of UK twentysomethings head to a US-style school, pretend to be teens, and compete for prom dates. It's unapologetically trashy - and also very addictive.
The show works due to the strength of the contestant's bold and outlandish personalities - strong, unfiltered, and occasionally controversial people stepping up and gamely participating. The show isn't afraid to have diversity either, with multiple members of the LGBTQ community, a concept the likes of Love Island are yet to take on.
It's fun to watch the different dynamics this brings - the fabulously confident Junaid, the hunky Welshman Alex and the misunderstood Megan stood out to me. It isn't high art - by any means, but it's an entertaining diversion and an interesting concept that keeps it light, fun and addictive.
