I've enjoyed it so far, though this seasons is a massive flip from being a loaner to leading a team.
It's based on the 11th book in the series, so different character development.
If you've read the books you'll know how far both series veer off the original stories.
Quite enjoying the real life Squid Game game show based on the original series on Netflix.
Has anyone watched the scrubland series on Apple TV? I read the book by Chris Hammer and really enjoyed it and i am not an Apple TV subscriber and was wondering if I should bother.
Worth getting a month of Apple TV. Heaps of good stuff on there IMO sorry can’t help with scrubland though.

I have read all the 8 Slough House (Slow Horses) books by Mick Herron and I forgot that the first couple have been adapted to a series. Gary Oldman and Kirsten Scott Thomas is a pretty stellar lead cast, might have a look. If you like spy genre books they are excellent.
I wonder if the Foundation sc-fi series based on Isaac Asimov's books from many years ago? Was a big fan as a young fella
i'm really enjoying Slow Horses. What would be the two other best series on that list RE?
Yes Sinners, (very) loosely based on the Asimov trilogy. They take some of the concepts and characters and that's about it. It's entertaining - one of the new elements they introduced around the emperors was the best thing about it IMO. I gave up on it in season two though.
Ok. It’s so long ago when I read them I would be struggling to remember much I think.
I think I enjoyed the following two the most.
I think after party is very clever.
It’s a light comedy murder mystery but every suspects tale is told in a different movie genre.
It’s not complex by any means.
The Afterparty | Rotten Tomatoes
Nothing is as it seems during a murder mystery, in which each suspect's story is told through a different film genre.
I forgot to mention Acapulco.
This show again is quite light but a very clever feel good family comedy.
Acapulco | Rotten Tomatoes
In the present day, older Maximo returns to a Las Colinas he no longer recognizes; in 1985, younger Maximo continues his climb up the ladder of success while potentially jeopardizing all the relationships he's worked so hard to build.
It’s actually my #1 pick. If you just want to relax / enjoy / laugh.
Very different to Fargo which I’m enjoying.
Also shout out to the fighting sequences in see. Amazing. Blind people cutting each others throats using all sorts of sound tricks.

Finished Season one of Slow Horses. What a show. Realistic spy show, great pacing.
Can’t wait to get through the next two seasons.
When I’m googling to see what day the next episode comes out it’s going well. Btw episode 9 has dropped.
Won’t be able to watch Ted lasso the same way anymore though.
Same, watched S1 over the break, first couple of eps of S2 last night. Gary Oldman, what an actor.
