Thanks for the warning, will not watch the trailer then.

P.S.: I rearranged the order of your post so that people read the warning before clicking the trailer.

Slighty off topic, but Christopher Chung (our boy Roddy) is the lead love interest in the upcoming Netflix production of "My Brilliant Career". It takes place in 1900s Australia. Gotta give him props for not being type-cast, but I'm not sure I can erase Sam Neill from the 1979 part. I'll still probably watch it, though, just to see how Roddy...er, Christopher...does.

IMO, the seasons do NOT match the books *exactly*. I read them after the show started. Much of it does match, but Diana Taverner's appearance differs greatly (not that it really matters in the scheme of any plots so far), a "bad" country was changed to a different country (again, it really doesn't matter), and I forget what else. It's jarring to me, but I don't remember the show diverting enough to make a lot of difference. BTW, read the books if you want to hear Roddy's thoughts.

i have mostly enjoyed every season of slow horses.
however every season feels "lacking" overall.
maybe its the lack of tension or immediacy. of anything.
i like that none of the event are world shattering.
and some of the seasons fall back on tired tropes
( i dont know when the books were written, it might have been ground breaking stuff in 1970-90)

it is a good solid show

There is even a better example - Tulsi Gabbard, who parrots RU propaganda 1:1 and by some miracle also is Director of National Intelligence, haha

So she has a far better grasp on reality and has far better knowledge of the situation than you do.. OK !

Yeah, she has a great situational awareness, same as Claude Whelan - just replace Libya with Russia. That helped Donald to stop the war in 24h

Please stop with the politics and get back to the topic.

I've started reading Slow Horses and, yeah, the show pretty much follows the book. There's a slow horse who, so far, is just a name in the book and was written out of the show (Kay White?) and there were only 3 kidnappers in the book instead of 4. For once, I'm glad I watched the adaptation before reading the book.
