My Thoughts

Quiz, Season 1 is a brand new AMC series that is based on a true story about a television gameshow scandal. Who Wants to  be A Millionaire, the same  show that  shot to fame in the Unites States, had a contestant the in the UK cheat their way to winning a million pounds. This series delves into the plot of how he and his wife pulled it off.

1- The country is enthralled with Charles and his winning streak. Everyone cheers him on as he heads for the big win,

2- Suspicions abound and suddenly Charles isn't so well loved. He's about to face the music.

3- Charles goes to court to defend his actions. He could lose his winning or even go to jail.

I had never heard about this particular scandal, but having been a fan of the US version of the show, I found this series really intriguing. It's crazy how far some people will go when a big prize is on the line. If you'd like to grab a copy of this exciting DVD for yourself, you can find it in stores nationwide or online at Amazon.
