Slow Horses (2022)

Watchseries; I would wager the low reviews here are from people who haven't read the books. So far, two episodes in, this is a fairly faithful adaptation, and brilliantly cast. The inside of Sough House is exactly how I'd pictured it. I can't wait for the next episode.

Slow Horses watchseries. This is an unusual case where it is better than the book it was based on. The books are SLOW, often going over unnecessary details not relevant to the story. All that is gone in the translation to visual media. The story is tight and while some details have changed, its to better fit with the format.

Production values are top notch and Gary Oldman is great as Jackson Lamb. I don't know where some folks got that this is some woke drama, but the gender and racial makeup is on par with the original source material, so that guy who wrote the review needs to put his big boy pants on and join the real world.

Only 2 episodes in and I love this show. Love this band of misfits and cheer for them to succeed. The actors are great. The writing is great. Hope it continues.

At last something good on Apple TV Not sure what all the bad reviews are about, but I am two episodes in and really enjoying it.

Good cast, looks great and lots of twists and turns What more do you want from Spy thriller?

Definitely worth a watch :)

When the action of the opening scene dies down this story turns into a slow burn. The actors are all fairly good and there is enough suspense to keep the interest level high. I watched the two episodes back to back and the characters are an enjoyable bunch with a bit of drama.

Gary Oldman is his usual grumpy old guy self and he does what he does. The lead character River does a decent job of keeping us entertained and in a show with everyone having character flaws they are quite adept at revealing them in creative ways.

The overall story isn't all that exciting, but the actors do their best with what's on the script. It's not as action heavy as the Condor series but good enough to keep watching for now.

After making it to eps 3, it's gotten progressively worse since the pilot. Orig rating was a 6, now a 4 and I'm done. Lots of mumbling and bumbling around by two different departments. Nobody wants to see Gary Oldman being a complete ass over and over. The initial 5 minutes in the pilot, all action, is very misleading now as it's all a long drawn out story with little if any action at all.

I really wanted to like this, but there's nothing there to like. No intriguing story, no good characters, no intense drama. Paint by numbers show.

High brow British spy stuff, starring a low brow Gary Oldman as a disgraced MI5 guy leading a bunch of misfits that all still have something to offer the service. High quality production as you would expect, and an exceptional cast. You would have to pretty much detest spy shows to dislike this short run series, which I hope they turn into a longer run.
