Collider Emily Bernard

Dec 22, 2022

Though it very much feels like it is poised to be an ongoing series, Treason works very well as a compact five-episode story. While Cox’s turn as a deeply flawed MI6 agent is gripping, it’s Chaplin, Kurylenko, and Ifeachor’s constantly-swaying allegiances that’ll keep you locked in. Read full review

Treason has more than enough tension and intrigue to span its 5-episode season. As long as it doesn’t get too bogged down with unnecessary side stories, the show should be very entertaining. Read full review

The Telegraph Jasper Rees

Dec 22, 2022

The business of making this story look like it belongs in the here and now on the whole plays second fiddle to pace. Nor does the story hang around worrying about drag-anchor stuff like feelings. People look scared or worried or brave as and when required. But never for long. Read full review

Not exactly bad, but unavoidably in the shadow of a superior original that’s available for streaming if you just head over to Hulu instead. Read full review

“Treason” could easily reach higher — John le Carré remains the gold standard for this kind of material — and it’s frustrating when it doesn’t. You can enjoy the ride, even if you wish for a more fulfilling destination. Read full review

Lots of fun and a romping, mysterious spy thriller that is neatly packaged into a five-episode miniseries perfect for a snowy night in.

If you liked Charlie Cox as the blind superhero fighting crime, he takes a more nuanced take with this British political spy-thriller that incorporates family drama betwixt riveting action and suspense scenes. Don't worry about all the loose ends, this isn't a plodding melodrama, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery.… Expand

A mix of 24 and Homeland, but without the strengths. If you want a real spy series skip this one and head to Slow Horses instead.
