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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
