Not a bad show, but probably not one I'd really want to get into. The first ten minutes or so of Season 1: Episode 9- Booby Trap is worthwhile for player and GM viewing. That informative ten minutes were about the beginnings of booby traps and depicted a fair number of nasty traps made with wooden sticks.
I realize that with my dual RPG and military experience going back several decades now, I don't have too much of an issue imagining how these types of traps come together. Other players and GMs may not. Bolburd, my Dwarven fighter, recently suffered a nasty wound from an ankle trap that limited his movement to 1/4 normal speed. That really hurt his combat effectiveness.
On the GM side of things, imaging you have a kobold lair that the PCs are trying to infiltrate. Those little buggars probably have a series of small, easily constructed traps littering the appropriately sized approaches to their nest. This show could get you started on a few good examples.
As for being a player, this episode could show you why adventures often had a 10' pole.
