With its gripping mix of seduction and strategic betrayal, BBC One’s The Traitors has viewers hooked around the world.

Perhaps the only true exceptions to the fifty-fifty model are Homer and Harper Lee.

“Well,” I said, when it was over, “that was bottomlessly horrible. Why is it so popular?”“Because,” said Salman, “the world has bad taste.
