The Inheritance

As a big fan of The Traitors, I was curious to see what The Inheritance had to offer. Unfortunately, it hasn't really grabbed me. It feels like an attempt by Channel 4 to replicate the success of The Traitors - however, the concept is so similar that it comes across as stale, especially for a brand new show.

The positives are there: the cast is likable, the filming quality is solid, and the challenges so far have been okay. But these strengths aren't enough to lift it. The gameplay feels flat, the tension never builds in the same way, and ultimately it comes across as a duller version of The Traitors in my view.

If you enjoyed The Traitors, you might find The Inheritance interesting enough to give a try, but in my view it lacks the spark and suspense that made the original so compelling. For me, it was worth a look, but I won't be continuing with it.

I can't lie, I'm actually obsessed. It's giving total camp chaos, one second I'm laughing like a loon, the next I'm sat there clutching my cup of tea like it's life or death!!. It's dramatic in that silly, brilliant way only reality TV can be, like watching your mate's messy group chat unfold on telly. Random, funny, over the top, honestly, perfection.

And that runs counter to "reality" tv which is an outright insult to anything that fits the word "intelligent." And the one thing that cannot deny 'reality tv' from inception up to the present day is that it is jaw-droppingly consistent.

This show is no exception. Liz Hurley gone slumming like that is a sign of dire times.
