Thought it was fantastic myself.
I really enjoyed it too Jackson Lamb has to be one of the all time great TV roles

Slow Horses a fantastic show but the latest season a drop in quality for me as well.

What is Goliath and Mayor of Kingstown like anyone? Was considering giving them a go.

Nick and David what a pair of twats

Amazing 5 mins ago it looked like Joe and Nick were winning. Alan deserves it. He took all the risks

He had both of the traitors named in the last few weeks and then in true Traitors tradition overthinks it and changes his mind!

I can't beleive Nick changed his mind about Joe. It is a great series, I watched all of it.

Milltown Row2

Tbf Joe played it like a traitor and that seed of doubt was enough

I think with Alan having that opportunity to name Joe and why, was probably a good opportunity to throw something in the mix and it worked
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

David was always a bit unsure about Joe, but Nick and Joe were scheming together for a while, so for Nick to vote for Joe was a total shock.

He must have thought Joe was playing him.

Both Nick and David had the habit of overthinking it even when Alan was outright asked if he was a traitor and couldn't keep a straight face.


Alan won because of his personality, anything he did that was suspicious was always attributed to that being "just Alan".

Richard Osman also said that about Nick and David a few weeks ago. Because they're supposed to be the "clever ones" they can't accept a simple explanation and overthink it. Great tv.

Haven't seen Goliath but Mayor of Kingstown is class.

I don't know why Joe didn't share his strategy of playing along with Alan and Cat to pull the rug out from under them at the last moment with Nick/David.  Maybe he did and it wasn't shown.  If so, that made Nick look an even bigger eejit.  This being the BBC, one of the traitors had to be a woman and/or a person of colour, so Cat should have been in the frame much earlier.  Faithfuls need to concentrate on staying in the game until numbers are smaller, not catching traitors.  In that sense Joe played it well until Nick completely fucked up.

Joe did share that strategy with Nick, and he did say he'd hope that Nick was able to persuade David, but it was David who persuaded Nick that Joe was the traitor.

The key moment was Joe changing his mind on Cat, had he went for David, Nick and Him would have got both Cat and Alan out - Joe's change and apology to Cat changed Nicks mind.
