Many viewers were offended by the brand-new game show from Channel 4 featuring Elizabeth Hurley and Rob Rinder because it was described as “overly complicated” and “a bit of a faff.”
Channel 4’s The Inheritance is a brand new show which will see 13 contestants battle to win a fortune left by The Deceased, played by Elizabeth Hurley, with Rob Rinder working as The Executor.
The 12-part series will see the players battle it out in a series of challenges to unlock money from the will as they try to convince each other that only they should be trusted with the money pot. Every task they complete unlocks more cash, but only one person can claim it.
The Deceased’s final requests, a series of devilishly challenging assignments that require their intelligence, collaboration, and cunningness, are described in a program description.
It’s up to one player to convince the others that they are the only ones who deserve the money they all earn, according to the Deceased game, which has a delightful twist.

The competitors will be closely watched as The Deceased’s Executor and trustworthy legal advisor, Rob Rinder, takes over the tasks.
The players were introduced as the show began, as well as receiving a detailed explanation of the show’s purpose and how they will win the money. Many fans were left perplexed just minutes into the film because it was described as “overly complicated” and “a little faff” by some viewers.
One viewer took to X, formally known as Twitter, and wrote: “I don’t understand the task already”, while another added: “It’s all a bit of a faff”.
A third said: “#theinheritance seems overly complicated for no reason”, while another claimed that the rules haven’t been properly explained: “So weird they haven’t explained the rules of the game or what the prize amount is. Sometimes telly treats viewers like idiots, but in #theinheritance they need to give us a wee clue what the actual stakes are.”
Others labelled the show as a ‘rip-off’ of BBC ’s The Traitors as one person penned: “Oh it’s that “The Traitors” rip-off on the other side #TheInheritance”, while another added: “So it’s The Traitors but on ch4?…”
Liz Hurley, who appeared on The One Show, described the show as “great,” saying she had seen it and had never had the opportunity to meet any contestants.
She said, “He was my sidekick, who I never met, because I’m dead and he’s there with the contestants,” when she referred to Rob Rinder.
“So I was just sadly by myself filming my parts, and I never really mingled with any of them.” But I’ve seen it, and it’s fantastic!”
