Battle of the Generations

The concept and structure of the show is intriguing. The generational pop-trivia debate is fun and the scoring system is interesting.

I just find the host presents is herself incredibly fake. She tries to make it intense and mix it in with being nonchalant cool. If you wanted the intense trivia show have a set that is like "Who wants to be a Millionaire." They also seem to pick the most annoying contestants. I am a younger millennial and I want to tell the Gen Zs and Millenials to shut up.

As I said, the structure and idea of the show is intriguing and I would potentially enjoy it. But, everyone on the show is annoying.

Actually its more than that....its really quite awful.

I like trivia TV, the pinnacle of course being Alex Trebek era Jeopardy. This steaming mess is NOTHING like that.

On the surface sure, I can see how this would have been greenlit by CTV. Get different generations of the same family together and get them to play Trivial Pursuit. Sounds good right? Sadly the execution is shockingly bad and most of it is because of Lilly Singh.

I'll admit, I haven't enjoyed any projects previously led by her and the reason remains the same. She comes across arrogant, smug and like she's "too cool for the room". And above all she's just NOT funny.

Full disclosure I'd be considered Generation X so maybe we're not the target demographic but I don't think that's it. While she might be OK in a supporting role she just can't pull off the lead.

Really not as bad as others are saying that it is, it is a decent trivia show and I could see it being even more enjoyable for a family where there are multiple generations watching it together.

With categories covering many different areas and multiple generations it also offers some added knowledge to anyone watching and makes it easy to pick up on stuff from a timeline that you are not the most familiar with.

If you like game shows and trivia you should really give this a try, the corny moments and bad jokes do not make it unwatchable and you may like it a lot more than the few that reviewed this before me.

So in conclusion don't avoid this show solely based on a few bad reviews, give it a shot. And the host Lily Singh does a fine job I think its the clearly intentionally bad humor that people aren't so fond.

Le Grand Frommage. This is one of the cheesiest game shows to come out of Canada since toasters where one of the prizes.

Can it get any worse without actually trying to be a parody of those shows?

Lilly Singh's overblown forced exuberance, and inability to project an iota of honest interest is #Epic on the cringworthiness scale.

The scripted humour seems to comes from a failed high school drama program that always finishes last in any competition.

The failed enthusiasm and humour from the contestants is so forced, their friends will be teasingly reminding them of it until their dying day.

Managed to persevere through 2 episodes but will willingly claw out my own eyes before watching a third.

Had a hard time watching the first episode. The dialogue feels so scripted, forced and artificial with cheesy one-liners and cocky contestants.. The host needs to cut down on the energy drinks and contestants need to answer the questions without turning it into a blog-esque thesis. No way this show lasts. Must be one of those filler shows to keep people employed. The set is insanely large and disproportionate and some of the camera views show a disconnect between the host snd contestants. The premise of the show has potential, the execution has failed miserably. I'd rather watch paint dry than continue watching this train wreck.
