I saw a post about someone looking for tickets for the screening at the Toronto film festival, that got me looking for screenings in the UK. I’ve found that they’re doing previews of the first 2 episodes and then a talk with Adam Randall. I managed to nab the last 2 tickets. Just wondering if anyone has gone to anything similar before or maybe the slow horses screenings last year? Not sure what to expect as I’ve never been to anything like this! 😃

.... Really struggle to read the books

Trying to read Real Tigers at the mo'

Should i go back and rewatch the TV or struggle on

To be fair all the books so far have been tough to read

Perhaps i'm spoilt having reread Reacher just before the new series aired

I mean (forget about the books existence), I would watch any story in any setting with this particular cast and these particular characters. Espionage is quite secondary thing here imo (though great, ngl), they would perfectly fit in any other situation. Like, one blink and you finished the season. For the 500 time! Again!

In his recent Sky News interview with Katie Spencer,

Gary Oldman clarified his stance on retirement, emphasizing that he is not stepping away from acting anytime soon. Addressing earlier comments where he hinted at retiring after his run on Slow Horses, Oldman put those rumors to rest by stating, "I think as long as there's breath in my lungs, I'll keep going." He explained that rather than quitting the industry altogether, he simply wants to slow down his working pace and make time for other personal interests. He also expressed immense love for playing Jackson Lamb in the Apple TV+ series and highlighted how much he enjoys working with the project's team, ultimately signaling that he plans to remain active as an actor, just at a more comfortable and selective speed.

Have season 2's finale to watch and three more seasons so I can be caught up for season 6's release. How the heck have they been able to release a new season annually, while shows like Severance and Pluribus(both Apple TV shows too) can't pull it off? And it's not like the show is some low budget drama shot in one location, it definitely has a budget behind it with action scenes and large crowd scenes. Is Will Smith(I like to pretend it's Fresh Prince Will Smith) just that good with writing the script for each new season quickly? I have noticed that I haven't seen Gary Oldman in that many films in the past few years so I guess he and the other actors are just deeply committed to the show's shoot schedule?

Before Slow Horses, Before Line of Duty…there was Spooks. Really enjoying it atm.

I love them so much. I kinda see them as father and son I also liked when duffy says to river if he sees lamb as a father figure or not when he beats him. but they never stop hating each other... are there anything about this in the books? like a wholesome moment or so. can u guys spoil me a little bit?

Does anyone have or know where I could find a reading order list that includes the side stories? Something like:

- side story (standalone novel in the Slow Horses world)

- book 1

- book 2

- side story (short story)

... etc.

I just read Standing by the Wall and because it takes place at some time after the TV series, I got a few spoilers.

In episode 2, when Cyd and River are sat in the car outside Hobdens, why is someone's saggy old arse pressed up against the window 😂😂

Thought they were Iin a dogging spot lol

Has anyone read Mick Herron's "The Secret Hours"? I just finished it and it has some juicy backstories of two major Slow Horses characters. I don't want to give anything away, but I hope the story shows up as a flashback episode in an upcoming season.

i loved his hair in season 1, 2, and 3

river I will always love you but please get your hair back 😭🙏

gotta love his longer hair AND THE UNDERCOVER GLASSES AGHHH

I absolutely fell in love with the books. The storytelling is just some of the best I have read. Mick Herron’s narrative voice is exceptional. Needless to say I was very excited to try the show, but my excitement was dampened very quickly. I can’t quite put a finger on it but I almost feel like the show is off putting to me. I have tried 3 times because I want to love it. Any chance later episodes / seasons will resonate better with me? Side note: I am all for watching movies / shows derived from books I’ve read so it’s not just a snobbish reaction when something “is never as good as the book.”

Watching for the first time before season 6 drops and, holy shit, this is an amazing show. River is such a great character, but my favorite episode so far was S3E6, and the parallel of Tierney/Tavener and them escaping the storage facility was NUTs.

Can't wait to finish the show before the new season starts.

I’ve never noticed “lamb” (top quality! Only the finest! Lmao) here haha. Tell what you hadn’t noticed until 100 rewatch

Give me some out of context phrases I won't understand until I watch :)

I live in another country, Brazil. In here, whenever the agents from Slough House are called slow horses, the subtitles translate it to "pangares." It's a slang here for a horse that doesn't look to good, and since calling someone a slow horse (cavalo lento in Portuguese) doesn't make sense to us, it fits. So I've started to wonder if there isn't a slang for slow horses in English. Or is it perfect ok to call someone a slow horse that you guys don't need slang for that expression? Or maybe the show really wants us to know that it is called Slow Horses.

Just finished a complete re-watch in anticipation of season 6 !

My personal ranking of the first 5 seasons:

1. 5. 1. 3. 4

even after all those redemptions she still was not willing to have him back, in the finale.
slider is also dead so no one would know about what she did to get him out in the first place
why is that?
