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.
I've watched all 6 episodes and I wasn't bored at all. In fact I hope there's a second series.
Sorry but the series not only laughably bad, the critics have agreed it is as well. but it has an insanely high rating here in IMDB only because of shilled fake reviews.
You can tell since the only activity of the account giving it a 10, 9 or 8 is upvoting and shill reviewing series.
Poor acting, abysmal writing, laughable paranoid plot.
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.

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.
