Am I supposed to not notice how shit the "spycraft" in this espionageslop is just because the acting is good? This show is like what a kid might think being an agent is like.
Watch Spooks instead
>>220808398deep fat fried kino. but the spy craft is nonsense
>>220808307Should I give it a try? Is it gary Oldman overacting again
>>220808307Essentially yes, and then enjoy some action/spy/thriller/comedy slop. The show is based on a book series, and apparently it's top of the line crimesloppa where one absurd plot follows the next in order to deliver excitement straight into the veins of 50 something women.If you can get past that, it's funny and chill to watch, but it has nothing to do with realistic spycraft fiction.
It has Gary...
>>220808307They all suppose to be shit at it apart from Oldman. His people are fuck ups and main office people care about nothing but their own asses and careers.
>>220808307I was fooled into watching this by Gary Oldman, who is also the only half-decent character, even with how irritatingly exaggerated he is. Watch Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with Alec Guinness from 1979 instead, it's stellar.
>>220808532I thought it was like a legit portrayal of the world of British spooks but it turns out it's mostly fiction, like, everything is fiction
>>220808307>the slow horses are finally done for>the dogs/russians/crazy purpose-bred death squad have finally gotten the better of them and they've run out of tricks>Lamb shows up and saves the day while looking nonchalant and physically disgusting
>>220808307I like it, but once in a while I get annoyed how they all act like they're top secret spies when they are just cops in one of the most locked down police states in the west.
>>220808307>Am I supposed to not notice how shit the "spycraft" in this espionageslop is just because the acting is good?I do think that's their goal, yes
>>220808672They're no Cops, they are snitches
>>220808491marathoned it a couple of weeks ago and i loved it desu. well-acted, no filler and all the main characters grow on you pretty fast. it's not perfect and there's some silly stuff here and there, but it's very worthy of praise compared to the other shit that's currently airing.
>>220808307Bro they're in the slough house for a reason.>>220808491Yes but it's Gary doing his best.
>>220808307What exactly is wrong with the spycraft in the series? It all seems plausible. But I'm no /x/ guy.
>>220808491Yes, it's a fun show
>>220808307The guy who wrote the books used to write detectiveslop and he admitted he has no idea how spying or working at the MI5 works.I don't think it's absolutely trash because I enjoy the characters and interactions, especially when Lamb starts shitting on his team or when everyone else eggs on River for fucking it up or being a retard. The plots are absolute retardium and rely on coincidences more than anything but they also have good twists and some subtle details, so I guess it's not meant to be taken completely seriously.>>220808602I thought that was boring. Most of the time it was people talking about other people. I'm not saying it was bad, just not something I'm interested in.
It's a fun show, the acting is good and the seasons are short. It doesn't shove annoying politics in your face much which is a breath of fresh air.
>>220808307If you think this show is convoluted I'd avoid 24 if I were you.
>>220808307>spy fiction is not representative of reality I'm shocked. SHOCKED.I'll just rewatch my James Bond documentaries instead of this.
>>220808307its a black comedy, not serious "spycraft"
>>220808307Woke trash
>>220808821I love falling in love with these ordinary british actresses cause everyone else in the show is so normal looking.
>>220809474She is a theoretical attainable level of cute, just the right amount of cute ergo not actually attainable.
>>220808307You don't know what being an agent is like either.
>>220808307>Love Oldman>Hold nose to watch woke Apple TV show>First episode the other characters throw a hissy fit watching a video of Brits who love their nation because it means they're Nazis or something>Leave and ever go back
>>220808821>>220809474hands off, she's mine
>>220811288>First episode the other characters throw a hissy fit watching a video of Brits who love their nation because it means they're Nazis or something Yeah don't know why tards itt are saying it doesn't shove politics in face when the show does that so blatantly
>>220811459
>>220809283>Endless men are idiots women are all capable misandry>First episode is about muh white supremacists.Shut up.
>>220811787The first season is about MI5 conducting a false flag operation using a neo-nazi cell they control to prevent a nationalist politician from becoming conservative leader and to increase their own funding. Your disabled ass saw the first 45 minutes of a spyslop series and got butthurt that it didn't reveal the plot to you at once.
>>220811288>>First episode the other characters throw a hissy fit watching a video of Brits who love their nation because it means they're Nazis or somethingIf you don't sacrifice underage british chav slags to pakistani rape gangs with impunity you are literally Hitler!!!! Do you have a loicense to intervene with their handling of personal sexual emergencies?
>>220808491>Is it gary Oldman overacting againYep. It's extremely tiresome. He puts on an accent too.
>>220812007Didn't mean to hurt ya feelings, Gary
>>220811914>N-noooooo, don't criticise my totally apolitical Reddit show for being another progressive turd nugget from Apple TV filled with trannies and old women and Blacks
>>220808307>agents fuck it up>scream at tv 'what are you, stupid?'>two episodes later Gary Oldman says he predicted this and solved the mystery before everyone else was aware of itI mean it's very simple but I appreciate the writing
>>220808912OP is thinking good spy story = amazing spycraft
>>220811914There's some weird astroturf campaign around certain shows and they post the exact same comments every week while the show is airing or when some news comes out.>Slow Horses>Foundation>For All Mankind>The Boys
>>220812386Slow Horses S5 was released in October and S6 is not expected for a while. This is a /tv/ board, we discuss tv here. Take meds.
>>220812440Absolute brainlet. Copypasting the same arguments every thread is not a discussion.
>>220812007does he do the silly OTT cockney accent?
>>220812468Provide new ones or fuck off
>>220812215I'll say, you really are disabled. Explain to me, preferably without bursting into tears again or exceeding your brainless buzzwords quota how intelligence services orchestrating terrorist attacks to demonize right wing politics is either reddit or progressive.
>>220812386this board is an ad platform for viral marketing. its 90% shills now. you can pay a company to spam your shit
>>220812485I don't need to argue, I like the show. If you hate it so much then you fuck off. But you won't because you're a paid plant.
