I just watched all 3 seasons of Slow Horses this past weekend because everyone has been talking about it. There's only 6 episodes per season so it's easy to binge in a day or two. I have always loved Gary Oldman since the first time I saw him in The Firm. I haven't read any of the books in the Slow Horses series by Mick Herron so I don't know how the show compares.
I really enjoyed all three seasons equally which is surprising because usually the quality starts to drop after the first one. I guess that's a testament to the books because I believe each season is based off of the first three books in the series. My only complaint is the character Roddy, I love sarcasm and arrogance but it has to be justified. He just comes off as a creepy incel who calls women degrading names because they refuse to date him. He has absolutely no redeeming qualities and he's shown no growth as a character whatsoever.
I get what they're going for with Jackson Lamb but his whole gross shtick is beginning to be a bit over the top. We get it. He doesn't bathe regularly and he likes to fart in front of everyone and anyone. By the end of season three it's like beating a dead horse (see what I did there) and it's become overkill.
