The Traitors US might be a guilty pleasure, but it’s great fun. Our advice is to forget they’re supposed to be celebrities because, well, they’re not. Just enjoy the clash of characters, savour the gameplay and embrace the madness.
The Traitors pits some of the most memorable (and duplicitous) personalities against each other using a formula that’s wickedly dramatic and fun.

An addicting reality game show. You will go through a full range of emotions while watching this show.
Report
Absolutely superior to Survivor and Big Brother, which suffer from redudnant formats that are in need of revitalization. Traitors is actually well-filmed and edited. The drama is not annoying like it would be on most reality shows. The format for this show and the players they have been able to recruit is top tier.
Report
By the time you reach episode eight (which could already scoop the award for the year’s best hour of reality TV), the tension is so unbearable that you will be glad the last two episodes are there for binging. Just be prepared for the stress-inducing final episode, which is pure shout-at-the-TV brilliance.
By Alim KherajFULL REVIEW
The joy of this competition is that no one quite understands that there’s truly no obvious strategy to the game or immediate telltale signs of someone’s “traitor” status—at least in the first few episodes. ... The thoughtfully selected cast is obviously a huge part of the show’s winning formula.
The format and host are solid enough to hold up against weak casting decisions (although I pray that no American politician ever arrives to impose partisanship on one of the few nice things we still have). I just hope that by the time Season 3 rolls around, the producers realize how much better the show could be if it looked beyond overexposed personalities from inferior reality series past.
The attempt is still worth watching, as the core concept seems too resilient to be ruined. But Peacock’s adaptation comes close enough to squandering the format’s potential that I wonder if it will gain much traction.
By Carl WilsonFULL REVIEW
Despite being set in a Scottish castle just like the British version, it lacks the oomph. This is partly because Alan Cumming, while a decent host, hams it up to the rafters and doesn't have the same air of deadpan menace as Claudia Winkleman.
