Traitors is a negative influence on society

[Listenup99]

The TV show Traitors is an example of society breaking down not just a bit of fun entertainment. It glorifies and rewards deceitful behaviour. I can’t actually believe so many people watch it and encourage their kids to watch it as if it is a good thing.

Yeah. Let's ban poker and Cluedo as well while we're at it.

Good one.

Small price to pay to see Claudia’s outfits.

Friday night, and the wine is out!

Never watched it prior to the celebrity one.

I am gripped!

I'm guessing you’ve never actually watched it?

I bet you’re a hoot at parties OP

I really believe it, posting because I. Know it isn’t an acceptable view to most people and many will think I’m ridiculous but I honestly think it is a really negative influence.

Think for a moment- as a nation - this is one of the most popular family focused cultural happenings - people choose to watch and glorify a bunch of half famous random people be duplicitous to each other as if they are killing each other. This is what we choose to spend time doing and endorsing. Weird.

It's weird that you're taking it so seriously.

I know! Look at all the people that have seen The Mousetrap on stage over the last 60 years and have gone on to be serial killers. People just can't tell the difference between pretending to kill someone and actually doing it!

Lol

Gotta love a Friday night on Mumsnet 💘

It also glorifies the "faithful" people. And encourages team work .
And does a great job for the Scottish Tourist board

Personally I feel the same about Midsommer Murders

Enjoying the replies so far 😆 knew this would go down well. As I say I do believe it irl but know many don’t agree! I also find rhat show where people marry each other randomly and love island are also truly negative societal trends.

if you met me irl you’d have no idea im this radical btw 😎

You seem to know an awful lot about the shows you don't watch 👀

Gosh what must you think of gladiators?

Yes, obviously finds it such a bad influence that she must watch all of them just to be sure of her opinion!

It all started to go wrong with murder in the dark 😭

Like all the MN Daily Mail readers who apparently despise it, but have to read it regularly just so they can tell us how awful it is 😁

Mega lol mate.

I think it is wholesome with good values so all good with that!

But Russell Crowe is apparently a bit of a bastard in real life.

What is the random marriage show?

I felt that series 2 was an excellent lesson to my daughters that a charming young man (Harry) may well be lying for his own ends!

People batting each other off platforms and pulling each other off the monkey bars is wholesome?

People playing a detective, role playing game is a negative influence?
