Slow Horses is great.  My favorite show on TV. 
The screw-ups just can't help from screwing up.

Quote from: Jockey on Today at 09:59:15 AMJust started the latest season of Diplomat. It has been one of my faves since it began.

Have you checked out Task on HBO? Outstanding. I think a lot of awards are gonna come its way next year.

We're between HBO subscriptions now, so haven't yet. I'll put it on my list for when we re-up to do some binge watching. Peacemaker is a guilty pleasure, so I'm looking forward to watching Season 2.

My only complaint about Slow Horses is that the season is only 6 episodes. Come on, man!

The facial close ups when Keri Russell's character didn't get on the plane were a freaking masterclass.

Totally agree, but I give them a bit of grace because they've put out t24 episodes in basically 3 years.  Compared to other hit shows that take 18-24 months if you're lucky to get another season.  And they are already greenlit for seasons 6 and 7 (which makes sense considering there are another 3, maybe 4?, books in the series aThere fter London Rules, which is the book this season is adapted from.

There are constant improvements every season, but without having read the source material, one of the best changes in terms of dynamics has been Emma as the new head of the Dogs.  Her back and forth with Lamb and the team is fantastic.  Her interrogation/manipulating of Roddy this season was hilarious.  Great character, great casting, great performance, she's elevated an already great cast even further.

Mick Herron is in his early 60s.  Lets hope he's got another half dozen books in him and he doesn't become lame lazy GRR Martin

Agree with all of that, Wags. Good point on them trotting out seasons close together - it's appreciated!

My favorite this season has been the PM, Whelan. He is such a loser and a weasel, and the actor (James Callis) plays him perfectly.

She is a national treasure.
