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

I subscribed to Apple TV just for it.
One of the best series I've seen. The audiobooks are great as well.

MummyJ12 · 10/08/2024 12:30

It’s another yes from me. One of our favourite things to watch. Gary Oldman is fantastic in it.

AzureBlue99 · 10/08/2024 12:31

Best thing I have watched for a long time. Jack Lowden is eye candy but Oldman is mesmerising in his rankness.

Oblomov24 · 10/08/2024 13:10

Watched more and more. Decided it was the best thing we'd seen in years.

PocketSand · 10/08/2024 13:47

I must admit to Apple subscription just for this. I have read all the books but love the screen adaptation. Perfect viewing. Gary Oldham as Lamb is so fantastically unexpected - great actor portraying a gross character. He might just have gone to shit but otherwise great method acting Smile

Rugby1971 · 10/08/2024 13:48

Absolutely. One of the best series on TV. So good!

PocketSand · 10/08/2024 13:50

And the rest of the cast are great, as are the stories.

Can't wait for the next season. (When is that?)

Yes! I really want to chuck his clothes in a washing machine 😂

I keep on seeing flashes of Daniel Osbourne in Corrie !

Pinetreecottage · 11/08/2024 00:44

It’s brilliant! Season 4 out on September 4th. Not long to wait!

SnowFrogJelly · 11/08/2024 00:59

Yes.. just done season 1 it's excellent

Ginmonkeyagain · 11/08/2024 09:25

What I have seen is excellent, the acting is great and the locations are brilliant. I watched the first three episodes on a London to Boston flight as I was idly curious and was quickly hooked - was so gutted when I realised they only had the first three episodes. I do not have Apple TV and can't really justify getting it!

Damn you Amercian Airlines!

tennissquare · 11/08/2024 16:04

@Ginmonkeyagain , I had the same with Your Honour series 2 on a recent flight as I could have watched more than 3 episodes but it's on Netflix so I was ok.

You get a free trial of Apple TV if you buy an apple product. Or you could subscribe for 1 month only in Sept for £8.99 and watch all the series plus the new upcoming one.

DianaTaverner · 11/08/2024 16:35

There are a bunch of free trial offers. I got 3 months because I have EE mobile. Sky and Three also have freebies.

Yes, love Slow Horses!

sausawyee · 11/08/2024 23:57

Just finished 3. It's all getting very interesting as characters develop !

Perfectlystill · 12/08/2024 06:42

We got bored and gave up.

I think they offer a free trial period. You could binge it during that after series 4 release!

SisterMichael · 12/08/2024 15:47

I heard an interview with Mick Herron where he says that the coat Gary Oldman wears as Lamb does actually smell really bad in real life Grin

Flibbertigibbettytoes · 12/08/2024 19:43

Loved this series - and Ted Lasso. Haven't found anything else on Apple that I like yet but will keep the subscription just for Season 4.

tennissquare · 12/08/2024 19:52

@Flibbertigibbettytoes , try Bad Sisters on Apple too.

LawrieForShepherdsBoy · 13/08/2024 15:17

Can’t recommend Bad Sisters enough. It’s brilliant.

BestIsWest · 13/08/2024 15:53

I agree re Bad Sisters. It was excellent. We liked Hijack too.
