    It’s reposted on HBO Max on Sundays without commercials.

    I’ve caught the first two episodes. Mimics some of the British version’s games: caption competition, fill in the blanks, etc. It has more of the early Angus Deayton vibe (single host for each show). The host, Roy Wood Jr. is a comedian along with the captains, so it’s more of a 1+2 show, whereas Angus always played the straight man. Also, the whole scoring point count artifice is missing.

    So far, has had some funny bits and very timely for an election year. Worth watching, IMO, as long as you don’t compare it to the current version of the British original.
