When Netflix launchedMillion Dollar Secret, a brand new, slightly derivative reality competition was born.
ImagineThe TraitorsandThe Mole, but as a slow burn.
The eight-episode first series was masterful.

Hosted byPeter Serafinowicz, the show’s tone is exceptional.
It’s dark and mysterious, but the entry for the audience is accessible.
UnlikeThe Mole, we’re not playing along with the players to find out their identity.
We know who it is, so we get to watch them maneuver through the game.
LikeThe Traitors, we’re watching how the two sides must work in unity despite drastically different objectives.
But when we got to that final episode, well,let’s just sayMillion Dollar Secretbotched the landing.
She played an exceptional game, eager to play the game at hand.
She took on every Secret Agenda like a super spy.
But her morality got the best of her.
This first portion of the gameilluminated the brilliant, slow-burning social experiment thatMillion Dollar Secretis rooted in.
The stress got to him.
Needless to say,this game is a brilliant social experiment with some interesting alliance-building games tossed in.
The Secret Agenda elevated the game to raise suspicion and make the “Hunters” aware of everything.
The Elimination Dinners allowed each and every player to truly show their cards.
The clues revealed in the Trophy Room were essential to uncovering the millionaire’s identity.
I’m gonna attempt to ride this train to the end of the track.
How ‘Million Dollar Secret’ Botched the End
Let’s set the stage.
Our final three were secret copSam Hubbard, never had the millionsCorey Niles, and In-N-Out cookCara Kies.
They each played drastically different games that ultimately helped them reach the final challenge.
But only two players could swap.
The challenge that came before this was an adrenaline-pumping race through a room filled with lasers.
Now, we’re relying on our fingers?!
No, the only danger was maybe accidentally pricking yourself with a needle.
Certainly, there are other reality franchises to borrow from for the final three challenge.
