new ep., it just keeps getting better.
>>2237549036 seasons already, that's nuts
>>223755159Short seasons tho, only 6 episodes. Very little filler. Wouldn’t suffer if it was 8 episode seasons, especially like this one where they’re cramming 2 books (or maybe 1.5) into a season. If they let it breathe a bit you’d get better character development, like Coe
>>223754903Sell me on the show. I like Gary Oldman, but whats it about? I need something new to watch if its not boring
>>223755380Mean old bastard lords over a group of failed intelligence operatives who've all been kill-filed into his unit. Like most Apple shows, it's diverse but not particularly Woke and Oldman absolutely dominates every scene he's in, especially when he's bullying his underlings.
>>223755380Smart slow burn satisfying mystery where spies actually fuckup and die, not protected by plot armor or hurrdurr literally me self-insert stupidity.
>>223754903I'm partial to slow whore's myself
>>223754903Season 5 felt a bit off but I'm liking this one.
>>223754903I don’t know why I keep watching this show but River is always getting bitched out. Couldn’t overpower a guy who just got into a car crash.
>>223756463That’s the point. He sees himself as a hero, but he’s not. He’s a fuckup. There’s reason he’s in Slough House.
>>223754903cartright getting you as a potential girlfriend is a death sentence for sure
>>223755615>not particularly Woke
>>223756515>There’s reason he’s in Slough House.yeah and that reason is explained, he saw his boss talking to someone who he shouldn't have, so she got that guy from hotd to railroad him into slough house
I'm actually a very good person and I respect women and minorities. This is the best show on TV right now.
Is sid playing river or is she actually in love with himhe needs a break
Fwoar, bloimey. Wut if mudslimes was the good guys innit? Wut if... we're the baddies? Ever fink o' that?
>>223756749Indeed, he's an establishment stooge who actually believes the propaganda meant for the goyim. He's retarded and naive, still believes his demented grandpa was a good guy hero when he did all sorts of shady shit just to survive and thrive in the world of the state security apparatus.
>>223754903I wont watch this because of the cast
>>223756991*female in position of authority glares at you, likely scheming your downfall
>>223756749Yeah, but that’s the point. He was ordered to track Lady Di and spotted her potentially compromised. But she also knew that so she set him up and fucked up the Stanstead airport exercise, a massive public embarrassment that gave her the reason to slideline him in Slough House.The point is, he’s a shitty spy that can’t play the game. He blew his simple job of surveillance. She found out. He’s not discreet. More importantly, he makes impetuous decisions, thinking he’s a hero and better than he really is, that often make situations worse instead of better. And he’s predictable in this. Lady Di uses it when she offers to get him back to the Park. It’s one of the main repeating themes with River. Sure, you want him to win, but he’s his own worst enemy, even when other warn him.
>>223754903Men incompetent, women smart, the show.
>>223757026Forcefully diverse?
>>223757053*female under 5 foot jumps from elevated height and knocks you unconcious
>>223757060Wow. An autistic incel Asian guy that’s good with computers. Totally unbelievable. It should be a white nationalist guy that lifts everyday and bangs girls just like anon so he can self-insert!
I liked it when the old white guy looked stupid for mistaking a big black guy for security when he's actually the Chief of Staff. Then later when he punched him in the street and then also when a random tin of paint from the sky killed him. Absolutely great writing.
>>223757053No one's as smart as Lamb. He's so bloody...NastyAssFuckingFeet
>>223755380Funniest show on tv.
What's everyone's favourite funny moment?Mine is last season when Roddy puts the lady that's conning him into the back of a cab and tells the driver to drive carefully cause there's precious cargo in the back. The way he said it was just so funny.
>>223757026Gary Oldman is terrible in it.He just yells and swears.And young people think this is good acting for some reason.
>>223757484When rody said "breaks my heart to see good fruit rotting on the branch" about louisa
>>223757484When Roddy is listening to Robert Palmer, dancing through the morning streets and psyching out random people. My sides? Orbit. Literally in orbit.
>>223757316Get a load of this smarmy cocksucker.
>>223756463>Couldn’t overpower a guy who just got into a car crash.meanwhile sid knocked him out with one punch
>most interesting narrative they could go down was to link the grandfather and Lamb to unveil past spy shit and better explain character motivation/hidden pastslol nahhh he's now senile - sooo smash cut to roddy goofing around or one of females looking annoyed
>>223754903Haven't watched yet. Is everything gonna go tits up, but in the end Lamb will pull up like Donna from Suits, solve everything then fart and shit himself?
>>223757698Bro sid nearly died and had to be saved in this very episode
>finally River's chance to shine, saving Sid from being drowned>actually he let's the Russian get the better of him and has to be saved by SidMan fuck this show, I'm out.
>characters that were once semi competent with fatal flaws are now walking chekov's guns of incompetence that get switched on and off as the plot demandsFuck's sake, it's been what, 3 episodes now of River and co. driving back to London?>oh no, our heroes are once again confronted by armed assailants and have no choice but to run and hide and run and hide and run and hide with nary a Millwall brick of rolled newspaper to defend themselvesCan't wait for Louisa's gun and the molotovs to mean absolutely fuck all and the final fight coming down to a punch up with the fight going poorly for the Horses untll the big bad gets hit in the head from behind just in the nick of time.
>>223754903needs more realistic tactics like when they break into home and touch everything with bare hands, bad shootings that make no sense (driving away in bmw no shots at radiator, tires, doors, etc.), and knife fight scene with 165lb slow horse that should of been over in 10 secondsit just has to make enough sense so viewer doesn't get taken out of story with critical response to fictional scenario thats too fictional
