Do they though?

Great news!
Middling to crap, this show, but I'll watch it for the accents.
Do you like any tv shows?
where is severance - apple you cnuts
Quite a few tbf, considering I rarely watch TV alone. It's the wife who's got something on constantly and I get more invested in the actual watching while she keeps it on as background noise.
Got her to watch The Bear, Severance, Andor that have been good in the recent past. Leftovers, Scrubs, 30 Rock probably in my top 5. EDIT - And Arrested Development S1-3, how could I forget.
Writers strike f'd it up
It's brilliant.
Huh? It is great fun. The plots aren't that complex but watching Gary Oldman in this role is fantastic.
Love it!
It's got a fixed template, the plotlines ludicrous, but yeah I'd say it's a fun enough watch. No Oldman and Scott Thomas, however, and this show tanks without a trace.
True for many crime or espionage TV shows. Books often have 1/2/3 main regulars characters that make them suitable for slotting a star or two into e.g. Bosch
Slow Horses = slow boil.
Looks Americanised and caters to that side of the pond. Lots of guns & action.
Americanised? Hardly.
Nonsense, got some great British humour by Gary Oldman and it’s one of the best shows out there.
Great show, can't wait!
Is this a documentary about my betting history?
Season 3 is underway with two episodes.
Great that it's back, love it.
Those are all great shows, odd to me that you don't rate Slough Horses. I mean, there's preference for certain genres, kinds of humor, pacing etc. of well made TV shows. And then there's "middling to crap" shows of which there are plenty (bad acting, cheap cinematography, bland and stereotypical characters) but I would have never put Slough Horses in that category.
Enjoying the new season.
Think the first couple of seasons started well and dropped off a bit, for me.

So happy it’s returned.
The overall grimy patina of Oldman is crafted so well, from the greasy hair to ‘bathing’ in the sink.
Good first 2 episodes.
Why is River always running? It has always been so I guess.

Very good third episode.
So-so third episode redeemed by the final 5-ish minutes which were the most satisfying of the whole series.
It's starting to look like River Cartwright actually does belong in Slough House. His judgement is not great.

They shoot slow horses, don't they?
Again, starts promisingly and then meanders so much it's genuinely like watching a slow horse eating...slowly. All day.
Slough horses don't sound like thoroughbreds though.
One of the best shows currently on TV.
Excellent so far. Gary Oldman is having great fun. Farting in the car was the highlight.
Some great writing, I love it. Do wonder how it plays to an American audience though, it’s properly sarcastic throughout and genuinely British.
Almost seems like it would fit very well on the BBC, only to be remade in the US.

So good, again. It’s a shame to have to wait for the next episode!
Killed Jordan Pickford off too early. He's a pretty good actor tbf.
