Season 3 Review:
The Traitors is not resting on its laurels. As a study of human behaviour – of deception, manipulation, self-preservation – it remains captivating. As perhaps the best example of social experiment-style reality TV, it has cemented its place in the cultural firmament.

Season 3 Review:
Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode of The Traitors without a frustrating cliffhanger, and we will have to wait until tonight’s episode to find out if the group have sniffed out their first Traitor already. Cruel? Maybe, but that’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from the best reality series on TV.

Season 2 Review:
The subsequent suspense is so well engineered that when the episode ends just as the fourth traitor is about to lift their hood, I let out an involuntary yelp of frustration. Let’s add it to the catalogue of small, strange sounds – from Winkleman’s gasp to the hiss of thousands of gleeful hands rubbing together – that heralds a new entry in the canon of truly great reality TV.

Season 2 Review:
It’s a winning formula, and this is a show that builds excitement with each episode. The first three episodes are available on iPlayer, and by the end we’ve had it all: ruthless backstabbing, paranoia and a decent twist (some of the competitors are more than they seem). Winkleman is great, playing along but never taking it too seriously.

Season 2 Review:
So far, The Traitors is pretty much the same game. And that’s certainly no bad thing. The BBC knows they have a hit on their hands, and it would be very stupid indeed to mess with the formula too much. Whether this second series will live up to the first all depends on how the game is played. With a cast of intriguing characters, more twists and Claudia Winkleman’s magic touch, I have faith.
