The Traitors is the Best Reality Series – All Three Versions of It
Last year I declared that The Traitors, the new reality competition series from Peacock, was one of the best shows folks weren’t watching. Well, what a difference a year makes! It seems like I can’t go a day without having an in-depth discussion about the ins and outs of the second season of the US […]
