The Ezz Show on TikTok put a couple to the test, challenging them to decipher the names of three iconic shows from mere visual hints, and it was no easy feat – do you think you’ve got what it takes?
First up was a puzzling image: a man looking bewildered beneath two signposts pointing in opposite directions next to a map. The woman, competing against her partner, quickly suggested ‘Lost’, the saga of plane crash survivors, which aired from September 22, 2004, to May 23, 2010, spanning six seasons and 121 episodes.
Despite her initial uncertainty, she decided to go with ‘Lost’ and was validated when the host confirmed her correct guess.
Then came a more challenging picture: three men with thought bubbles. One read: “I’m going to rob a bank.” The second said: “I’m going to kidnap someone for ransom.” And the third bubble showed: “I’m going to burn my ex’s house down.”
This stumped both contestants. To help them out, host Ezz hinted the answer lay within the image itself and encouraged them to analyse what they saw.
Describing how the men were likely pondering over “bad things” or “criminal things” they gradually concluded that each of the men had ‘Criminal Minds’. Beaming with pride, the couple was ecstatic when their guess turned out to be spot on.
The cult favourite American series ‘Criminal Minds’ follows a team of FBI criminal profilers from the Behavioural Analysis Unit. The show kicked off in 2005 and continues to capture audiences in its impressive 17th season.
Wrapping up the round, the last clue displayed a majestic tree atop a hill, which the pair guessed almost immediately as the hit series ‘One Tree Hill’.
Viewers at home were taken aback by the quick fire answers, with many assuming other possible solution. One viewer remarked on the triple-men image: “I was thinking Mad Men since you have to be mad to want to do all that.”
Another viewer chimed in agreement: “Criminal Minds was tricky.” Adding a lighter touch, someone commented: “The first one I was like ‘DORA, THE EXPLORER’.”
