Re: Slow Horses (Apple TV)
The wife and I are trying Slow Horses. When will it become an interesting plot? Think we've seen paint dry faster. In fact, we have, last night.
There's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over

Re: Slow Horses - NEW SERIES - Apple TV
I thought the series started off OK but I'm getting lukewarmer and lukewarmer to them.
The writer Will Smith got some award last week in Hollywood and Morwenna Banks (from 80 sitcom Absolutely) wrote this weeks episode but for me it's just getting less believable.

Morwenna Banks wrote a fair bit of Succession as well.
I’m saving up the new series of Skow Horses to binge on later. I thought the second series took a slight dip but have loved it otherwise.

Re: Slow Horses - NEW SERIES - Apple TV
It’s excellent- I’ve watched three episodes so far of the latest series
One needs to go with the flow…
The new Front Desk character is a bit wishy-washy
I’d be surprised if the appointed a twat like that

Indeed. Superb
All the characters are really strong
Standish and Roddy…. ooooof!
I missed a vital clue…..

I can’t wait for the next series- May 2025 I think

Seemed to end abruptly, thought there was going to be more - perhaps the next series.

I didn't watch the trailer for 5. Don't want any hints. I've also avoided the books as I don't want to know the plots in advance. I read them after each series, although I gave read the other Herron books in the Slow Horses universe but not in the book series.

I started reading the first one but gave up after about 30 pages
I knew the plot and it was identical to the telly
Normally I would say the book is better than the dramatisation but in this case no
I love Roddy!

I started reading the first book and immediately ordered the whole series. I love them.
I haven't seen the TV version as I don't have Apple TV, but I'm quite prepared to believe it's as good as the books.
Bugger off.
