The Traitors

USA: First season was great and it was interesting to see how the actual winner got all the way to the end. Challenges were good. There is no need to put "celebrities" into the cast! It makes it much less appealing and the cliques formed were according to what shows they were on. But, Alan Cummings is awesome as the host and tooo funny! Please choose regular contestants.

The UK and Australia Traitors were much better! Love the concept and it's interesting to watch the journey unfold! I think it could have been moved along better and scenes cut as they got repetitive. The praise purse for both of these countries was less than the USA yet the contestants tried harder to win. Cmon USA!

Im not one to binge watch shows especially not game shows but god damn! I watched all 10 episodes in less then 2 days.

First of all, I came for Alan Cumming's fabulous wardrobe and later stayed for the amazing tense and mystery show feel. The show is great at keeping the competitors guessing because there are several creative ways for players to be eliminated and you get to relish in the chaos. The show is about being good at manipulation and deception. No one can be trusted yet they have to work together to increase the prize pool. The castle and surrounding estate was a beautiful backdrop. I hope they will have a season 2.

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 statement falls short in describing what this series actually is.

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 television.

I turned it on because I love Alan Cummings. Gold right there.

But no, once it gets going, it was pure awesome. I binged it so fast. I wanted more. I rarely review things on here, but this one I want to help get the ratings/reviews/averages and get it out there. This show was so good.

There were times it was a bit too scripted; perhaps people were laying it on a bit thick. But overall, I loved every minute. I wanna be on this show, ha!

The settings, the challenges; I was yelling at the TV like a Boomer, just so into it. Drawn in from start to finish. I was never bored, I loved and hated who I was supposed to, and loved the direction of the show.

I can't wait for season 2.

Season 1 was fun to watch with real people, strategy, challenges, and game-play. So fun that I watched the Australia and UK versions as well. Season 2...not so much. What's with the recycled caricatures from other shows? Casting needs to understand there is a short shelf-life to these people. The drama has overtaken the fun of the game, and I'm finding it difficult to enjoy watching. Fake emotions, slights, indignation, you name it. Everything is so over the top. Alan should be the only character on the show, but his presence gets lost in the sea of fake nails, fake eyelashes and air-brushing. Phaedra in particular is difficult to watch, as she hasn't contributed anything to the games except endless pouting, mumbling, repeating what everyone else says and getting her 3-inch eyelashes caught in her fake bangs. Bring back normal people or this show should get muuuurrrderrred!
