[Apple+] Slow Horses TV Series (Spoilers)

[gnarlygninja]

I was T-Boned by a car at 40km while cycling. I rolled on the hood and then the windshield, fell on the other side of the road, did not get hit by an incoming car, got up, walked to the sidewalk and sat down fully conscious. The ambulance drivers told me they were surprised I was not dead or badly injured. I was not even wearing a helmet but had the reflex of protecting my head with my right arm.

Injuries: sensitive ribs for two months, a micro fracture to one toe, skin abrasions with impeded asphalt on the right arm and my ego. Nothing serious.

Why? because when I saw the car coming in my peripheral vision I did not freeze. Instead, I pushed on the pedals to jump in the air and fell on the hood. The bike was destroyed, not me.

I guess what I'm saying is that fast reflexes played a role in the outcome of my accident. I'm more lenient now about car impacts at low speeds in TV shows.

I was very confused by you calling that a low speed impact until I realized I, an American who is also bad at math, had flipped the kilometers to miles conversion in my head.

I really enjoyed the show up until series four. Part of the show's appeal for me was being more grounded and "realistic" than most spy genre is,

The end of season 3 was where I reached this point, with the assault on the facility feeling like it was from a proper action movie. I still enjoy it, but I prefer things when they’re a bit more grounded.

We watched the first episode and were shocked, appalled and disgusted by Jackson Lamb, the character played by Gary Oldman.

He’s so wonderfully repellent!

Loved the season finale. Preview looks better for next season

Damn I love this show. It was a slow burn for me, took me a couple of seasons to really get it.

The next season shouldn’t be long away—it’s already filmed and in the can.

Great ending to season 5. First Desk vs Lamb. Checkmate!

I find the format of six episodes very satisfying. They are really well crafted with no down time. Very efficient formula.

Slow Horses is like a dysfunctional Foster Care family. Lamb is the alcoholic father figure who doesn't care 90% of the time, Standish is the caring mother figure, and the rest are the troubled teens. They live in a dysfunctional space and every time authorities try to close them down, they prove their worth as a viable model.

Ah, if only that ever worked in the U.K. public sector. I suppose I never tried blackmailing the Health Secretary.
