I rarely rate reality shows on here, coz I'm normally not a big fan, but holy moly, this took me by surprise.
This is fresh, this is shockingly exhilarating, this is 21st century TV, and actually NOT in a dumb or numbing way. It's very intelligent, well produced and utterly engaging.
Hailing from the Netherlands, now in the UK, 'The Traitors' is just a genius concept, mind-boggling, intense, superbly creative and just WOW!!! Not for the fainthearted for sure, because you delve so deep into the human psyche, it's just otherworldly, and utterly gripping.
I spare you the details on the format, because they have been covered on the internet and in other reviews, but the twists and turns, the way the viewers become emotionally invested, the shocking revelations and everything that comes with it, makes this show a recipe for success.
Claudia Winkleman is superb as host and foreboding narrator, it's completely different territory for her to "Strictly" - but I think she does a fabulous job.
Watching the show, even us, the viewers start to forget that it's 'just a game' ever so often, because the show's format and production is just so crazily out there.
And did I mention it's shot in the most beautiful Scottish castle with the most breathtaking surroundings - which almost act like a juxtaposition to the sometimes quite grim reality of the show?
I have to give this a 10 out of 10, because I have been hooked from the get-go.
