What happens when you bring 11 people to a plush, beachside mansion and offer them the opportunity to split a quarter of a million dollars, no strings attached? In its new reality show The Trust: A Game of Greed, Netflix bets on drama—and that wager does not disappoint, at least for a while.
The premise of this new reality competition show is simple: Will the group stick together and share the money over a series of weeks as they learn more about one another and make increasingly difficult decisions? Or will selfishness and suspicions win out and cause them to cut the group down?
Most of us can probably guess the answer before anyone casts their first vote of the game. A quirky business coach named Lindsey calls it from the jump. “A quarter of a million dollars is a lot of money to me, yes,” she says. “However, when you divide that by 11, that is not a lot of money to me.” Let the cutthroat elimination votes begin!
