"Slow Horses" is a spy show based on books I have never heard of. Slough House, a dead-end post in London ran by Jackson Lamb, where agents are being sent to as punishment, ends up as a part of a larger scheme. The main highlight for me was marvellous performance from Gary Oldman, whose comments would grant him a role in "Veep." The writing was good, with well-built and well-used Chekhov's guns. There are 4 more seasons.

‘Severance,’ ‘Slow Horses,’ ‘Andor’ Directors Challenge Streamers in Open Letter Over Pay: “Royalties Are a Lifeblood”

The letter from Directors U.K. criticizes streaming platforms for failing to contribute to a scheme that allows them to be paid copyright royalties for repeat showings and program sales.

Kristin Scott Thomas & Kurt Russell To Be Honored With Crystal Nymph Awards At 65th Edition Of The Monte-Carlo Television Festival

Kristin Scott Thomas and Kurt Russell and will both be feted with the Crystal Nymph Award at this year's Monte Carlo Television Festival.

Deadline

Finished Nobody Walks. Much better than Reconstruction. Theres more link to the Slough House books with some major characters with significant input. It had a bit more of the humour too. Overall just better writing, pace, some twists, some action.
Next up, The Silent Hours, I'm looking forward to this one a lot.
I have one other non-Slough House novel on the shelf, then am waiting on the Clown Town paperback.

@mock well dark it gets, but not in a fun way. the second episode is all about Patrick's childhood. after #SlowHorses this is the second time I see #HugoWeaving in the role of an abusive authoritarian English father. both times very controlled, almost anemic, relying on menacingly slow speeches and rolled Rs, instead of violent outbreaks.
