Trivia
Although 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.

Goofs
Completely 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.

Good points make it worth watching

Traitors is an interesting idea that suffers from extraneous subplots and some cringeworthy exposition. You'll be lectured on race relations in the USA, on abortion rights, on women in the workplace, on systemic abuse of Jews and a dozen other worthy but in this context distracting issues. That's just bad writing. At its core though, Traitors is a tale about one woman's emotional journey into, depending on your POV, adulthood or corruption and that story is very well told and very well acted by Emma Appleton. A second season? Why not.
