The Traitors pits some of the most memorable (and duplicitous) personalities against each other using a formula that’s wickedly dramatic and fun.

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.

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.
