To suggest that Slow Horses

[newyearnewnothing]

Is the best thing that's been on tv for years??

I love it, I watched the first episode of season 3 last night, I have been rationing myself to one per day to make it last 😀shall I read the books as well?

@Wordless I agree those programs are amazing but I've seen them.
At the moment slow horses is the best thing on tv

It is

Loved it, definitely the best thing on tv at the moment.

We watched series 1&2 then rewatched them, plus 3 when DS came home at Christmas.

Haven’t read the books and probably won’t but it was a fantastic adaptation.

Its really great, I have thoroughly enjoyed Slow Horses

I would say that Boy Swallows Universe and Fargo series 5 are the best thing on TV right now though 😉

@SiliconHeaven Always read the books first!!!!
Especially when they are by as good a writer as Mick Herron.

Apple TV is an underrated streaming service in the UK. Signed up for Ted, stayed for shrinking, the morning show and now slow horses

Agreed. I thought the series finale of series 3 was one of the best episodes . What didn’t those of you who didn’t like it not like? I’m just curious . I did have difficulty following some of the plot lines but that’s probably just me!

We were laughing at some of Gary Oldman’s lines

So well done

I know, I would have done but I’d actually never heard of him before a friend recommended the tv show a couple of weeks ago. 😳
I will read the rest before seasons 4 and 5 though.

@SiliconHeaven Sorry, bit of a bug bear of mine.
Plus you will looooove them!

YES IT IS THE BEST THING

I've really disliked it for being so slow paced. I have only watched part of the first episode. Am I missing something? It's about a posh boy who got the job beciase of family. He isn't good at it. So gets a sideways move to tje dept where workers who aren't great go to?

@wizzywig it's so much more. Stick with it

I didn't like the first half of the first episode and now I'm obsessed with it. Keep going

I also loved the Bear and that extra long episode with the 7 fishes is going to be my new Xmas special that I watch each year

How can you bear to @cosypompoms 🤣 it was the most stressful piece of television I think I have ever watched! Although, incredible.

If you're going for audiobooks try the Secret Hours by the same author. It connects into the Slough House world and is a great plot in its own right

Sorry, seen that title's come up already but it really is good!

Watching it now. Episode 4. Enjoying it, it was recommended to us.

They were filming it in the Barbican when I was there just after Easter. I only watched the first episode but wasn’t captivated…

I found it took me until episode 3 in season 1 to get into it. Then was hooked.
