Traitors

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.

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.

I found this very entertaining but was irritated by the constant suggestion that America won the war. Also the suggestion that the OSS had to step in at the end of the war to save Britain from Soviet penetration is ridiculous. Britain in fact helped the US set up the CIA out of the bones of the OSS after the war. The US was very much junior to Britain in the matter of intelligence and code breaking during the war. This is not historically accurate; for example, reference is made to the traitor Kim Philby being a member of MI-5, he was in fact MI-6 (Secret Intelligence Service). This is an important distinction and not merely pedantic. It's like saying the FBI and the CIA are the same thing

I really liked the show's first 2 episodes and till some extent episode 3 also was quite intriguing. However, since episode 4 you'll find loosing interest in the show, maybe not enough to leave the series then and there but certainly, you wont be fascinated to watch every second of the show. The ending was simple and was hurried into. I think there was no proper closure between the characters. The acting was also not out of the world and can be said as just justifying what role demanded and not over and above.

As a suggestion, if you watch alot of tv shows and take it quite seriously, dont waste your time on this show.
