Decent start alright.

Anyone watch True detective yet?
Watched it last night. Not feeling it so far.

First episode reminded me a lot of Fortitude
That's EXACTLY what it reminded us of and I binned Fortitude.

True Detective had too much ghost shite last night. Not looking good.

Just finished season 3 of Slow Horses. Is there a better actor out there than Gary Oldman? Him on his own makes it such a fun watch.

Fargo season 5 finishes this week in the states as well for those watching it. Been a good return to form overall after season 4.
Bring on Larry, can't wait.

Looking forward to Masters of the Air.

Halfway through season 3 of Slow Horses, Gary Oldman is brilliant.
I found Gary to be one dimensional in this drama, I hope for the sake of his family and friends that he's not a method actor. As for season 3, I thought it was mainly brit spy fantasy cráp. It's not remotely close to the George Smiley dramas, mainly just a load of fantasy low order crash,bang, wallop along with stereotype characters. Maybe also I have a deep bias against BRIT CRAP.

Mick Herron books and John LeCarré books are not comparable.

I enjoyed that first episode. I think its nicely poised.

Slow horses is a bit meh. Gary Oldmans character is annoying.
This is one of my 3 usernames.

Fargo season 5 started very strong but petered out a little in the last few episodes. The last episode was more like an epilogue.

Still excellent and worth a view.

I thought the same as you. Quit after two episodes. Given the fanfare on here, i think i will give it another go though

Nope - good show and worth watching.
But it clashes with Love Island now - decisions decisions

Great entertainment,  last nights show was brilliant.

Laudermilk anyone?
I can't decide if it's brilliant or rubbish.
