Fascinating television
I don't like game shows. They're just not my thing. But I tuned in these paste few days because I thought the whole Watson thing was interesting. Boy, am I glad I did!

Bad
The episode just seemed all over the place for me. Which is normally fine. But usually there's something more tying all the nonsense together in an episode.

Formulaic
