  2. Back in the days, starting with the end of WW2, spies and traitors were 'hot stuff' both in reality and in movies.

    Nowadays, with people holding double and triple citizenship, physical borders being volatile, Britain and USA intelligence services displaying weakness and even stupidity - the theme of Traitors is a bit obsolete, and even boring.
