Indeed Traitors !
This stands alone as a good yarn about spying in post war Britain, the storyline is interesting and the acting throughout is excellent. I am a little surprised at the low ratings it gets but I'm guessing it does not contain the action which many people seem to crave these days. Instead of this, the drama demands your attention and makes the viewer think about the issues it raises. The cynical viewer who wants endless action should watch pieces containing Jason Statham.
the inconsistancy nettled me
How can a series have such great production values regarding costumes, sets, vehicles and the like and still have so many terrible anachronisms in the script?? just drove me nuts!
Enjoyable series
I've watched all 6 episodes and I wasn't bored at all. In fact I hope there's a second series.
Don't believe the bad reviews
A very good series imo and a cross between Foyle's War and Bridge Of Spies in atmosphere. Convoluted plot and very loosely based on Britain and her allies' history around the time of the partition of Palestine post WW2. Not to be taken too literally which is why some reviewers have criticised the series.
Good cast and acting and thoroughly enjoyable if you like a good spy story. John Le Carré would not have been ashamed of this.

Gripping final instalment
Slow burner... worth persevering with and deserving of a second series. Some of the persevered "Englishness" was plain dumb, such as the cricket match taking place in a cow field! But on the whole an enjoyable series. It grew darker as it progressed.

- TriviaAlthough heavily modified, the series bears close resemblance in the overall arch of an infiltrated government official, the web of double crosses concerning military industry, its highly nationalistic tone and even title, to Verräter (1936), a German propaganda film produced by the UFA under Joseph Goebbels. The movie is now considered (despite its original use) a thriller masterpiece, and became the highest grossing film in Europe, winning several awards.
- GoofsCompletely destroyed by bombing in May 1941, the House of Commons at the Palace of Westminster was not used again until rebuilding was completed in 1950. The Commons used the House of Lords chamber instead, so the parliamentary scenes should show red seating, not green.
