The Traitors

Ordinary people compete for the change to win £120,000.

Full of twists and turns, this has been the most compulsive gameshow on the box for a very long time.

I love the originality of it, it's absolutely compulsive viewing, I didn't like the look of it initially, but I ended up binge watching it, it's one of those shows that you can't help but get drawn into.

So some of the challenges are a little irritating, and some of the acting is a little bit dodgy at times, but those are minor irritations, it's been the first show myself and family have all sat down to watch together for quite some time.

Claudia is definitely one of the best presenters out there, and she's marvellous and understated at the same time.

Love it, 9/10.

One of my FAVORITE game shows - EVER!!!

SO addictive, in fact, that I had to look for more, and BINGE-watched (at the expense of being late for work the following morning), not ONLY the U. S version, but the UK and Australian versions.

It is SO good, that if I understood or spoke Danish, or if it had subtitles (and I knew where to stream it), I would immediately watch the original as well.

I was about to add that if you enjoy game shows, this is a DO NOT MISS show, BUT that falls short. This is not only a series where players compete for money. It's a whodunnit, a thriller, a mystery, a drama, a comedy ... it is excellent and addictive.

Just an amazing emotional experiment into human behaviour. Loved every single second of this. By the end of the series I felt like I personally knew all of the remaining contestants. I hated the 4 day gap over the weekend waiting for the next set of episodes. I thought the challenges were really high quality. It can't be easy to set physical challenges that are appropriate for such a diverse set of contestants, but somehow the BBC have done it. Just a phenomenal pre-Christmas viewing experience. I really hope this gets renewed for a second serious. Claudia Winkelman was great. Clearly moved by the final results.

Inventive and beautifully produced, directed, and photographed.

Claudia Winkelman is the perfect Host, with an occasional aside of humorous self-awareness. The contestants all participate flawlessly and make the whole thing work. Suspense is constant, right up to the last few minutes. At least in Season 1; I'm not yet done with Season 2.

As it appears to be unpredictable for not only the players but the producers, who couldn't know how it would all turn out but seem to have thought of everything.

The amount of planning, props, and other production work is just phenomenal. Not a detail missed. All aided by the gorgeous castle, grounds, and landscape.

With what must be a huge but nicely invisible crew making it all go. And the post-filming editing is masterful, adding everywhere to the intended atmosphere.

I have only a couple of nits. The overlaid music is too much, and the player "Oh my god" reactions often overdone. That's the only sign of over-coaching.

I'm very glad to read that there will be a third season. It must be very expensive to produce.

Rating it a 9 because it is well over 8.

The Traitors was something I watched out of curiosity. When I asked my partner if they wanted to watch they flat out said no but would do as I was interested.

10 minutes into the first episode my partner was more infatuated than me.

Every episode had plot twists, amazing challenges and nail biting endings always leave us satisfied but in suspense of what was going to happen next.. and the ending? Oh my god.. what an ending..

I implore anyone who reads this to give it a watch. It's the best thing all year.

Finally I didn't expect such a platform to be on the BBC.. all those streaming providers really missed out.

Cannot wait for season 2!!!
