"Slow Horses" is that rare gem: a show that started good and has gotten better. Season 3 was my favorite so far. Nice to know too that it's coming back for another.
@gruber aside from Ted Lasso, Slow Horses has been my favorite show on ATV+. It’s probably the best show on the service.
@drewhall @gruber I liked Silo a lot.
@Slim1023
Ending was depressing though.
@gruber I’ve just finished the finale. I thought it was over after this season so glad there’s gonna be more. It’s so good!
@gruber interesting. may have to download it for my flight home
@gruber I felt S3 was way too damn short, but already having previews ready for S4 is a clear win over Netflix’s two-years-of-vagueness over a renewal

@raineer @gruber Apparantly they have been filming two seasons at a time, which allows them to have the previews ready like that.

It’s also based on a book series with over 8 books so far, so they’ve got the material to keep it up for a while if they want to.

@gruber It will probably go for several more seasons as there are 8 books in Mick Herron's series. No shortage of content and storyline. As long as Oldman is in, it should sustain. And apparently he loves the series and character.
@gruber yep - have enjoyed season 1 and 3. looking forward to 4 and hopefully more.
@gruber Jackson Lamb is the best with the best title music from Mick Jagger https://open.spotify.com/track/0AOwMIY6XB78tGUDu37wXY?si=73q3v5YCRCumfKTnHIn70Q

@gruber and Jackson Lamb is one of the best spy characters ever created. And does every season have him passing gas?
@davidanasco @gruber can we set him on Trump? He'll be able to out-stench that criminal at 40 paces!
@gruber Our only complaint is that the seasons are short and the wait between them feels too long.
@gruber It's fantastic, and Oldman's character is done exceptionally well. And Kristin Scott Thomas is fantastic as the stoic spymaster. I'm enthralled.
@gruber Is there some kind of outlet where we can get your reviews about the good stuff a little sooner? This constant binge watching just to catch up is sooooo exhausting.
@gruber they are shooting 2 seasons at once. That’s why it was already known there’s gonna be another one, and that’s why we got a trailer ready right after the finale. And that’s also why we had 3 seasons I less than 2 years. Oh, the joy!
@gruber really enjoyed this season!
@gruber FYI, you wrote keyboard instead of trackpad in your last post — (1) add Touch ID to Magic Trackpad.
@gruber it's my favorite show since The Wire.
@gruber The Mick Herron books are also a fun read.
@gruber sim, slow horses é muito bom, o que faz uma boa história é um bom enredo contado por bons atores, slow horses tem talentos de sobra!
@gruber I agree 100%. Season three was fantastic, and Gary Oldman was at his absolute best.
@gruber Love me some Slow Horses. Great show!
@gruber if it stays this level of quality viewing, long may it run

@gruber great show: it’s hard to imagine how each of the seasons will end. It’s been a ride.

I love the song that Mick Jagger wrote and sang in the credits and the fact that he’s a fan of the book.

@gruber I just read the first book. I liked it.

Do you happen to know where in the books Season 1 is?

@Slim1023 @gruber Season 1 adapts the first book, Slow Horses. Season 2 adapts Dead Lions. Season 3 adapts Real Tigers.
@gruber Oldman is SO perfect. It’s been great seeing that grumpy bastard character get more and more textured in an entirely logical evolution/revelation.
@gruber the books are fun too

@gruber

It seems like the concept borrows quite a bit from Patrick McGoohan’s The Prisoner. Although the exiled spy part is quite a bit different.

@gruber that Season 4 preview got me so pumped up. It’s easily my favorite TV show (and probably the best)

👍🏼👍🏼

@gruber same.
We have 2 episodes left, I think.
No spoilers, please!
@gruber so good I’ve decided to start the book series and jump ahead. Really loving the vibe of the show.
@gruber Good but also overhyped – still pretty procedural, can easily grind on something else in parallel and miss basically nothing
@gruber I would just like Apple to commit to the whole book series (including the short stories), like ITV did in the UK with Poirot.
@gruber Second that. Started season 1 right away when I finished 3 😅
@gruber Loved the first season so much I've been gobbling up the books series.
@gruber I love the fact that they’re investing that far forward to have shot footage to tease next season as this one finishes
@gruber likewise. Gary Oldmam is suberb. And come to think of it, so everyone else.
@gruber The Mick Herron books that it’s based on are great, too, and it’s nice to see them staying pretty close to their plots.
@gruber Apple has had several of my favorite shows: foundation, silo, severance, and slow horses. Can’t wait to try out monarch. I don’t know how they got Gary Oldman for Slow Horses but I can’t imagine anyone else playing Jackson Lamb
