Why we love The Traitors
Gather comfortably in your candlelit nooks for an ancient sea story. In 1629, the Dutch vessel Batavia veered off its intended path, leaving hundreds of passengers adrift on an island located to the west of Australia. Trust among the survivors quickly eroded, and as Mark Pos, a Dutch TV producer, explained on the Today program two weeks ago, “A tragic series of events unfolded,” which eventually led to a bloodbath. Interestingly enough, this grim sequence of events served as inspiration for Pos when he developed the highly successful television show named The Traitors.
