Slow Horses

[Prriorayingly]

Season four is about to hit our screens. If you haven’t watched it, I thoroughly recommend it. Gary Oldman is superb.

This season is just excellent, I'm watching each episode immediately though and then wishing the week away because I want MORE. I think James Callis could be there as a bit of a bumbling fool but still move the plot along significantly - he makes some moves in E3 that will no doubt have repercussions 😬

Not about the programme as such but Standish and Louisa looked 🔥at the Emmys

Oh wow Standish is a stunner

Wow, they look amazing! I also had no idea Jack Lowden was married to Saiorse Ronan.

Really enjoying S4 but not sure I can take another cliffhanger ending!

They’ve been together for a while but got married just recently, I think.

Thank you light and breezy for those photos, I love this cast so much.

I can't wait til the next episode.

I hope they don't leave us hanging horrendously like they did after one of them... already forgotten which one.

I want Saskia back in the office but I do also worship Joanna Scanlan - in that fantastic wig 🙌🙌

Is it 24 hours to wait?

We're re-watching Series One to fill the weekly void.

I've done that though.....
Maybe I could just watch them all again?

I've rewatched the last couple of episodes of season 2 to tide me over (didn't really want to rewatch the Min episodes😕) and might now go back to season 1 - I've already potentially spoilered something that may happen later in the series (if they faithfully follow the books that is) by reading Reddit threads that include comments from people that have read them all, so I really need to avoid doing that again. Apparently there are some additional backstory books ( into character's histories ) and I'm quite tempted to give them a go. Has anyone here read the novels? The consensus on Reddit seems to be they are even better than the series!

The books are really good. They do differ from the TV series. I watched the show first and then read the first 3 books and I was just as gripped. I didn't have that sense of disappointment you sometimes get when the show and books don't match up, I think the changes always make sense and it means you are still kept on your toes a bit.

I was going to try and read book 4 behind the TV show but it was too good so I had to finish it.

We've just finished the first series, glad to hear it stays good/gets better.

I think the shows to date are pretty faithful to the books, I read the first two after watching S1/2 and was reading book 3 in parallel with watching it on TV last year, then read the rest of them. Both equally good and will no doubt read them again at some point.

Not long to wait now! 😵‍💫

God, Jonathan Pryce is so good as David Cartwright - I’m strongly reminded of an elderly relative of mine from just his first scene in Ep 4.

I too took to the novels to tide me over between episodes last year. Have now read them all. The adaptation differences are interesting - a bit less complex and more schlocky than the books - but if anything more convincing and less repetitious.

Just discovered this gem when I remembered I had Apple TV a couple of weeks ago and had a nose through their offerings. It's fantastic. I'm now all caught up and desperately waiting for next week. As a night owl does anyone know if the episodes are available from midnight? As then technically I'll only have to wait until Tuesday night to watch.

Not sure - maybe! I generally only remember it’s available at around lunchtime on Wednesdays so haven’t checked earlier.

@MistyWitch they're not available at midnight, the earliest I've been able to watch was about 5 am Wednesday

I think this is the best series yet. The book was a bit weird but this has streamlined it nicely. They're letting the characters breathe into their true awfulness a bit more, esp with Roddy Ho and Jackson Lamb.

Last night's episode was SO GOOD.

The stress of watching it.

The terrible wait for the next episode.

I haven't watched it yet; DP and I make pathetic attempts at 'saving it up', which actually means we wait until, ooh, Thursday night to watch it

There was a real " ooh" moment with things dropping into place last night .....

But Thursday is closer to the next episode at least!

We are barely coping with the decision to wait until a couple of days after episode five drops, but at least then we can rip through in three nights. Cannot wait.

I know, but barely It just feels like a token gesture and we may as well watch it on a Wednesday really.
