Bridge of Lies

Enjoyable show overall, with a solid concept. However, I find it frustrating when contestants waste time discussing questions they clearly know the answers to. In a game where time is of the essence, it's baffling to see them hesitate and engage in unnecessary discussions. Is it nerves, overthinking, or a lack of strategic awareness? Whatever the reason, it detracts from the show's pace and tension. Still, Bridge of Lies remains an engaging watch, and I'll continue to tune in - just hoping contestants will learn to manage their time more effectively. Highly recommend it despite this quirk when you got nothing to watch...

I have a caveat that I've only seen parts of a few episodes, and not a whole episode start to finish. Anyway this is my opinion based on limited information.

The format here is simple: find the most ignorant contestants possible and put them on a simple quiz hosted by Ross Kemp. Ross Kemp is a good host, the questions are unbelievably easy, and anyone who watches quiz shows or takes part in quizzes would complete an episode in half the time, and would most likely walk away with the money.

I would recommend any dishonest person who can fake a fun personality to apply for this show. Just lie to the producers of Bridge of Lies and pretend to be unable to answer many questions, also dither a lot before answering. I am quite sure these are the qualities the producers are looking for.

This is quite a good show and the concept is fine but sometimes the questions are a bit ridiculous when you remember you have to get at least 10 right to get accross. I just watched one where the question was Animals and their scientific name". Chances of anyone getting cross the bridge is pretty much zero unless you were a vet.

I prefer questions that are at least possible but apart from that the show is reasonable and the final round is good in the way the wave gets closer as you move forward on the bridge. This builds up some tension and urgency.

Ross Kemp is OK but I wonder if a more relaxed presenter would make a better connection with the contestants.

OMG I'm at a friends and have just watched another episode of Bridge of Lies and csnt believe what I've just watched. I really dont know why this group thought they were good enough to enter a quiz show because their knowledge of everything was dire. They got the simplest of questions wrong.

I never watch this usually but my friend seems to like it, maybe I've just been unlucky in the two shows I've watch have been utterly laughable.

I would never show my face again if I was the contestants on today's show.

I think Ross is ok as the quiz master I admire him for not bursting out laughing at some of the answers they think are correct.

This is a serviceable quiz show with all of your usual tropes. A series of multiple choice questions for a team of brain-dead contestants (in this case strung against the tenuous concept of a 'bridge') and a well known host. It kills half an hour well enough to distract me from screaming into the endless void.

Ross Kemp however, a man associated with hard-hitting investigative journalism, has surely reached the bottom of his own personal TV barrel. How they ended up getting this guy to present is beyond me; perhaps he's in financial trouble or something and needs the easy cash. In any case, it must represent the biggest fall from grace since Marie Antoinette.
