John Doyle Globe and Mail 04/15/2019
The Feef figure is fascinating: Sexually liberated and bored by peacetime, she's a cunning woman, and far from sympathetic. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 03/05/2019
4/5
But there's enough to enjoy in the quality cast...and some nice, unexpected touches in a drama that has a sparky, modern vibe while still evoking an era of chilblains and Izal toilet paper. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 03/05/2019
All of this probably makes Traitors sound great, I know, but with greatness in its grasp it is instead so far merely solid. I'm not quite sure why. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 04/02/2019
Maybe Traitors gets better later on, but the first episode left us cold, annoyed, and somewhat confused. Go to Full Review Victoria Segal Sunday Times (UK) 03/05/2019
Historians might raise a learned eyebrow at the writer Bash Doran's factual accuracy, but Traitors is smart and funny, provocatively reimagining a moment when Britain had to shake off the bombsite dust and decide how to shape its future. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Caley M @RT78519351 Jan 10 White man bad. Current vulgar language in 1945. English women giving it up easily. In real life my grandmother was left leaning, married a Canadian soldier and she wouldn't even do it with the lights on. The main character in this is supposed to be a conservative and spreading around out of wedlock around like it is current Los Angeles. Yet another piece of trash written by a useless Marxist that is too lazy to do any research on a topic before writing about it or simply does not care. See more Julian P @JulianPoulter 03/28/2025 Very much underestimated. A key era in history that has been undercooked until now. Impressive, tense and well acted. See more Peter Y @RT46393469 01/22/2025 Found it depressing. No character with the possible exception of Jackson seems to have any insight into their condition, into their trappedness, so to speak. Feef has no real fight in her, or integrity really. See more Stuart H @RT53079620 06/10/2024 Atmospheric and stylish. Highly recommended See more Stella B @Stella200 07/13/2023 The acting is excellent, it's gripping. It slams governments around the world so I think the bad reviews were from nationalists, but it delivers. See more 08/05/2022 There is little to like here. I must confess that I only watched Episode 1, my general rule being that if I'm not hooked by the end of the first episode, game over. I was not drawn in. The pace was slow and there was no character I wanted to root for. Feef, the protagonist, was not credible, coming across as a shallow young person who tried my patience, and the rest had me shrugging my shoulders. Furthermore, as someone who grew up in post-war Britain, to me the accents, the ambience, the overall sense of place and time, were missing. In summary, boring. See more Read all reviews
