Slow Horses anyone?

Post by Henryj » Mon Dec 25, 2023 6:13 am

I haven’t started watching it yet, but I’m loving the books, Slough House series by Mick Herron. My new favorite quote ever “You look like you spent half the night getting gang-raped and the other half writing thank you notes.” Jackson Lamb is my new role model.

So, is the TV version any good?

Oh yes. Read the books and watching the series. And check out the theme at the beginning.

Books are fantastic, show is great too.

And yeah, the theme song is Mick Jagger. Turns out he loves the books and the show runner found out he was a fan and he wrote/performs the theme song.

I enjoy the TV series. Will have to try the books.

Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb portrayal is fantastic.
