What Would You Do?
It’s time for more people to be put to the title test of determining how to react to an apparent crisis — while hidden cameras capture their responses — as host John Quinones returns with another season of this series. Only when he appears do the subjects realize the situations have been staged, and there’s interest to be had not only in what they do, but in how they reflect afterward on their actions — or inactions — once they know what’s really going on.
