Slow Horses season 3 the best one yet. Crazy good.

It started off a bit bumbling and I thought the whole concept of the show was going to go up its arse a bit, but then it escalated and the series finished off really well.

It's enjoyed the limelight because the US hasn't been able to produce a lot of content due to industrial action, but it also plays ahead and has shorter seasons whilst still putting content together after filming which means the cadence is great.

Season five has been bloody good. I?m still in awe of Juno Temple acting.

Juno Temple has been great and a close second to the impact Jennifer Jason Leigh has had on the season so far. Richa Moorjani is awesome as well as the hard working copper trying to get shit done (and I'd hate to be in her real life marital situation).

Jon Hamm and Joe Keery take a bit of a backseat in a plotline with Sam Spruell's character who is just downright creepy, but honest at the same time.

The depth of quality in this season makes me think they realised s4 was a bit undercooked in writing and execution.

Yep, excellent. I thought S2 was convoluted and a bit lacking in suspense after a really good first season. S3 was awesome though.

Oh yeah, I cannot articulate how overrated I think Mick Jagger is

joking right. Great showman on stage. Have seen him live and he was incredible

One of the best performers I've had the pleasure to see on stage.

Re: What are you watching at the moment

I too have really loved the first three series of Slow Horses. But seeing the series raised here, itgot me thinking and a question came to my mind.

Are the Bombers the Slow Horses of the AFL?

Excluded from finals many years ago, never to return.

For YouTube watchers, I really enjoy Fridays with Frank. Pinal County Deputy Sheriff who pulls over drivers for various incidents.

Re: What are you watching at the moment

Just watched Ricky Gervais' Armageddon set.

I can't believe the really bad things he says represents new material for him. He hasn't been seshing hard enough and filing material appropriately if it is.

It's like it's 2014 again.

Re: What are you watching at the moment

The most recent episode of Fargo was pretty cool.

Richa Moorjani excels. She's climbing up the leaderboard.

Started watching it and turned off. Like you said the show would have been funny in 2014

Jon Hamm is pretty good in his role and I am so impressed with Juno. She has nailed the accent.

I’ve seen about 15 minutes. The most offensive thing was the startling lack of anything structured like a joke. I counted once something that resembled a punch line. It felt super lazy.

That sounds like a lot of comedians once they get too big.

Worst thing to happen to Gervais might have been the attention he got for his award show 'roast' of the celebrities there. Really went downhill from then

It's why this from James Acaster gets wheeled out time and again and is absolutely spot on:

There's also some elements of a Jonathan Pie rant Gervais's incorporated into the early part of the show, again from a number of years ago. He's had it.

That is your recency bias starting to show, JJL did not get much screen time in the last two episodes

In all seriousness Moorjani performance all season has been brilliant.

The cat and mouse game between sheriff Gator and the drifter is also a fun watch. The gas station shootout scene early between the drifters (hired killers) and Dot (Juno) was extremely well done. Edge of your seat stuff and would not be out of place in any Fargo story.

When the final episode drops in a couple of weeks I will definitely be rewatching the entire season.

Re: What are you watching at the moment

I was holding off watching season three of Reservation Dogs mainly for the fact I thought season two was the perfecting ending.

But I was wrong, I just finished episode three and there are more stories to be told.

The soundtrack this season has been perfectly curated, potentially better than any show or movie I have watched.

True Detectives new season next week. The trailer looks good
