Calling all reality TV fans: Netflix's new series Million Dollar Secret is a must-watch for anyone looking for a show like The Traitors to get them through the spring.
This new reality competition gathers 12 everyday people into a gorgeous lakeside mansion, giving each an ornate box. One of them holds $1,000,000 in cash, and the lucky player will get to keep it...as long as they can hold on long enough to become the last one standing. In each episode, the millionaire gets a task to complete for an advantage, as the rest of the players undergo mental and physical challenges to win info about the millionaire's identity. Whoever's the final player after eight episodes walks away with the entire pot.
