Critics, per Wikipedia

The Box received three-star reviews from Sarah Dempster in The Guardian and Anita Singh in The Daily Telegraph, a two-star review from Katie Rosseinsky in The Independent, and a half-star review from Patrick Stacey in the Irish Independent. Several reviews found the series to be entertaining, and some found the contestants' shared living space and discussions on who to eliminate to resemble The Traitors, both positively and negatively. A criticism by several reviewers was that the show's format, in which the contestants are given tasks without being given instructions, was difficult to follow; Dempster and Rosseinsky compared it negatively to Taskmaster. A frequent observation by critics…
