I remember seeing a vending machine in Niseko that had beer and fresh undies - what more could a man need???

I’m reading that the BBC has this on free to air in the UK later this year. Streaming on Starzplay in May but like others, I’m paying enough streaming services already. So I guess I’ll wait.

@Catogrande it's only 2 quid isn't it? Doctor Death and Mr Mercedes are good on there too. Heels is half decent so far.

Solid start

I'm all in

@MiketheSnow you getting that from alternative sources? I'll watch anything with Gio

@crucial I've watched Ep 1 and while I agree with everything you say I'm still a little underwhelmed.
It's like every performance 80% nails it but the sum of the individual parts is less than 80%
I think you're probably right about the plot - although I didn't notice that with the books. Just seems like you don't get enough of the depth of the characters especially the interaction between the Slow Horses themselves. We know nothing of Roddy for example. Given how little plot development there was though - if you delved more into the characters it would be very slow indeed.
I'm trusting its a slow burner and will develop. I'm also going to recommend it to someone who hasn't read the novels for their take.
I haven’t read the novels and really enjoyed the first two episodes. Less enthused by the direction of episode 4 though.
I think they did an ok-ish job with the characters, although they could have done a settler episode after ep 1 where we get to know the slow horses a bit better.
It's a big part of the books that details about the characters eke out over time. The same experience as the show where you are just thrown in and it takes you a bit to get your head around their quirks.
Already in the show they have let on far more about Lamb/ Standish than the books and that is one of the keys to his character. -

I mostly liked this season so keen to watch the next epsiodes.

S1Slow Horses and S1Tokyo Vice both very enjoyable

They filmed Dead Lions (second book) at the same time as the first. No news on when it will show. My guess is they were waiting on reaction to S1 before doing S3 and will now try to spread it out. If the show wasn't well received they probably would have dumped S2 online asap.

Is this based on Jon Krakauer's book?
Edit: Google says yes. Might have to look it up. Be interested in how they make the story fit the facts.
