Reception
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, The Good Traitor holds an approval rating of 44% based on 16 reviews. The New York Times complimented, The Good Traitor "shows how the energies of public and private worlds course back and forth". Variety was less complimentary, "Fascinating backroom politics circa WWII are undermined by banal marital melodrama in Danish director Christina Rosendahl's The Good Traitor, resulting in a so-so period drama that raises more questions than it answers."
