Cheaters

If you want reality entertainment that actually understands its own format, Cheaters is available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and fuboTV right now. With 16 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. The casting and pacing are what separate this from the rest of the genre. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Cheaters earns its spot. Cheaters understands that the format only works if the people in it feel real. Cheaters is a weekly syndicated American hidden camera reality television series about people suspected of committing adultery, or cheating, on their partners. Tommy Habeeb brings the kind of presence that makes the format work. 16 seasons (2000–2023) gave the story room most shows never get. The editing in Cheaters does a lot of quiet work shaping how you feel about every person on screen. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Best watched with company, Cheaters generates takes from everyone in the room. Fans of Matlock will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 16 seasons gives the story real room to develop. The format has been copied endlessly since Cheaters first appeared, which is the most honest tribute the industry knows how to give. Impossible to watch casually.

Cheaters is currently airing new episodes, created by Bobby Goldstein — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
