The programme features critics sharing their opinions on a variety of television offerings, including The Outlaws, Family Fortunes, You, Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House and The Mating Game. It launched in November 2021 and runs as a regular series on a weekly basis.

The series is a television programme that brings together a group of critics to voice their assessments of other shows. Rather than presenting original drama or documentary content, its purpose is to provide a platform where professional opinions are exchanged, giving viewers insight into how a range of current programmes are received by those who analyse them for a living. The format centres on discussion and commentary, with each critic contributing their perspective in turn. In each episode the panel turns its attention to a selection of titles, ranging from scripted dramas to game‑show formats. Among the programmes examined are The Outlaws, a crime‑drama series; Family Fortunes, the long‑running quiz show; the thriller You; Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House, which follows high‑profile bidders; and The Mating Game, a reality‑style dating competition. The critics dissect these offerings, weighing their strengths and weaknesses and offering verdicts that reflect their individual tastes and professional standards. The show first aired in November 2021, marking its entry into the broadcast schedule at that time. Since its launch, it has continued to follow the same structure, delivering episode after episode of critical dialogue centred on the aforementioned programmes. The series remains a concise, episode‑based offering that focuses solely on the critics’ viewpoints without venturing into narrative storytelling of its own.
