Huge SH fan! Loved the recap! Keep 'em coming! Also: curious as to whether you've read any of the Mick Herron books? I tried, and couldn't get into them.

They definitely reward the effort- the voice is different from the series but enjoyable in a grumpy and dyspeptic way

I am a HUGE, HUGE fan of Slow Horses and am also in the process of reading the novels by Mick Herron that are the genesis of the show... which are SO GREAT! I am deeply immersed in this world and loving every minute of it. So thanks for these recaps which are also helping to feed my SH addiction.

Could watch Lamb and Diana banter forever. Thrilled there’s a new season, and now your recaps? Cherry on top!

deeply appreciative of the kick up the arse to start watching the new season of the amazing Slow Horses, sadly had to quickly skim this one so I don't ruin my watching. Can't wait!

My husband and I and one friend watch Slow Horses, so there are 3 more of us! Love the recap and so excited for the season!

Oh I'm so excited you're doing these! I love this show as I, too, am apparently a middle aged man--who knew? I even read all the books, happily all in a row so the plots are all vague in my head. I squealed (so unlike my middle-aged man persona) with delight when the new season dropped

For us Brits, Gimball reads as a cross between current MP Nigel Farage and the former MP Michael Gove - the latter’s ex-wife is a columnist with a major UK newspaper, the Daily Mail

Absolutely love this show. It’s reasonably popular here in the UK but I suspect if it were on the BBC (and therefore easier to access) it would be an enormous hit.

Okay now please do season 4 finale because I watched this premiere all excited and promptly realized that I forgot why slough house was invaded?!

AppleTV has the best shows with the worst marketing.

I'm waiting for a new trial of apple TV as paying for too much, love reading your recap though! When I get that trial I'm also looking forward to On Cemetery Road, adapted from a different Mick Herron series and starring Emma Thompson 😍

I laughed so much at the beginning as like you I binged watched four seasons in a week as I got an Apple tv trial and thought of making the most of it 😂 Looking forward to season 5 but waiting to activate another free trial I got when buying headphones (who would have thought!)

absolutely, spot-on as our cousins across the pond might say. I love this show, smart, well-written and actually believable. Go figure. Thank for the synopsis.
