“Quiz” can feel frustratingly basic at times, suffering from slights and gaps that make the three episodes sail while feeling incomplete. The series would have benefited from either being a 90-minute movie or at least five episodes.

Quiz is smart, entertaining, and told with a great sense of efficiency. By sticking to three hour-long episodes, it provides all wheat and no chaff.

Given how entertaining it is, there's a much better than 50-50 chance that those who watch won't feel the least bit cheated.

A remarkably uncynical version of events around the Coughing Major, which shows several points of view with clarity and empathy.
