[1] The products presented to the contestants are a combination of real products and fake products, or " snake oil", and contestants must decide which products are legitimate ventures. [2] Winning contestants receive up to $220,000 for correctly guessing which products are real and which are snake oil, contingent on their score going into the final round and how much of a risk they choose to take.

The first season of the show was met with mixed reviews from critics. Decider's "Stream It or Skip It" review gave the show a mostly positive reviewing, highlighting its premise and contestants, but criticizing the hour-long runtime as being overly long and describing Spade's hosting as seeming "half-asleep" at some points. [1] Melissa Camacho of Common Sense Media also praised the show's premise but found Spade's hosting to be low energy, giving the show 3 out of 5 stars overall. [24]
