Is slow horses worth watching?

[ManchesterBeatrice]

Just that really! I have 3 months free of Apple TV so working out what to prioritise 😵‍💫

I've just binge watched season 1, it's really good. Gary Oldman is brilliant in it

Absolutely.

The books are great, too.

Yes! It's really good.

The After Party series 1 and 2 are both very good as well - pretty sure that's Apple TV.

The Morning Show is good too, although I got distracted and gave up halfway through the first series. I was enjoying it but had a tiny baby.

Was recommended to us. Watched episode 1. Not sure.

Yes. It’s brilliant. One of the best things we’ve watched in ages.

Yes. Unequivocally yes.

One of the best shows to come on any platform in years. And all seasons so far are good.

Gary Oldman was brilliant, we enjoyed it. Severance is great too, but thats only on season 1.

Yes! It has the tension of a spy procedural but is very original, fresh and witty. Excellent cast and performances. Surprising and often shocking, but also often moving.

It’s excellent. Ted Lasso is great too! Trying to get through them both and maybe Masters of the Air before our free trial expires!

Yes - definitely!

Can't wait for season 4!!!!

Yes!

Also recommend:

Ted Lasso
Shrinking
For all mankind (madmen meets space race)
Foundation, if you like sci fi/Lee Pace 😄

Thank you!

Yes! It's brilliant- gets better and better.

Watch that and Ted Lasso, the Napoleon film is worth a watch if your in to war films as well.

Absolutely loved slow horses. We watched all 3 series back to back, which is unusual for us. Gary Oldman is great and grotesque in equal measure.

Is the Idris Elba Hijack on apple? If so, watch it!

Yes!
Slow Horses
Ted Lasso
Hijack
Bad Sisters
The New Look.
All good, in that order.

We gave up after 2 episodes, can't believe the love for it on MN.

Yes, it's superb, as are the books, I watched the first two seasons last year, re-started apple TV for a month just to watch season 3 and am now working my way through the audio books. I'm on no 7 and hoping they all make it to TV.

Yes!! We loved it. I also really loved Ted Lasso, and we’ve just watched Masters of the Air which was a stressful watch but really well done (and based on true stories).

Apple TV has some good stuff - Shrinking was very funny, Harrison Ford was excellent. And I’m enjoying the weird Noel Fielding Dick Turpin thing.

In descending order of quality of the stuff I've watched and would recommend

Slow Horses
Ted Lasso
For All Mankind
Schmiggadoon! (If you like musicals)

I couldn't pick which to prioritise between Ted Lasso and Slow Horses tbh. Both excellent.

I really liked Bad Sisters as well.

Morning Show was very relevant at time and is still a good drama but it will date quite quickly due to the US political / social aspects of what is discussed.

I've just finished season 1 and only just realised from this thread that Lamb is Gary Oldman. Bloody hell! Brilliant acting. Definitely worth a watch.

It's not my usual type of program but I really enjoyed it.

Yes it's brilliant, though I admit I wasn't sold after one episode. It warms up!

Black Bird is also excellent.
