I'd watch a game show where you put a variety of math nerds on each team and watch them argue about the optimal strategy. Who's strategy will win? The quant analyst or the bioinformatician? Tune in next week!

Reminds me a bit of Devils Plan, or other similar reality game shows in Korea / Asia.

I saw a couple devils plan and felt they were trying to imply Mathematical scheming without substance. There was one guy who kept talking about “science” but then his “game theory” for a game of mafia was “social distancing” like Covid…

Watched a fantastic film about this on the plane a few years ago, "Liar Game - Reborn". There is some fairly sophisticated logic puzzling and scheming going on (see e.g. sample illustration https://imgur.com/a/0AOb67G from an interlude about 50min in where there are 3 groups of people who mutually distrust each other, each know a secret collection of 3-4 integers unique to their group, and want to deniably pass share integers with each other which are "not my team's". Another participant watches what happened and realizes in retrospect this is how the info was shared.)

A lot more upbeat than "Alice in Borderland".
