Yeah she's class. James Norton played the villain role really well too.

I haven't seen that actually but will check it out. Thanks.

It's not a cop drama but you won't regret it, IMO it's better than Happy Valley!
 
Finished Full Circle on HBO, I think there was more potential but sadly it went nowhere and kind of lost focus.
They tried to stuff too many storylines into one miniseries and none of them were really that gripping.

If you don't have anything else to watch give it a go.

I thought it was decent if you stick with it. Not spectacular but decent.

I watched the whole 3 seasons. I stick by my assessment - spectacularly poor. It has a couple of redeeming features (Billy Crudup's overall performance being the chief one), but overall it's a very poor show masquerading as a good one. It has so many tired, poor performances in it too, with so many 2 dimensional characters, it becomes painful to watch as it goes along.

The 1st couple of episodes were ok, though.

Heh, I thought the first half of the first season was shite and redeemed by a good second half, really liked where they took it in the last few episodes. Season two was crap, though. Season three about the same from what I've seen. I would say it's a "fine" show to watch with the other half. She loves it.

Ha, exactly this! It's so difficult to get my wife to watch any decent shows! The last one we saw that was great was This is Us.
 
Hadn't really heard anything about this show up until now when it seems like the PR has been upped with the release of season 3: how good is Slow Horses?

Worth getting into now? I usually love two things: spy thriller like shows and those framed against historical settings. And a bit of dark humor is always great. Seems like this show probably hits two of those but at the same time my patience and time for following multiple shows isn't what it used to be so if I want to know if its something that holds the attention for all 3 seasons.

It's brilliant and Gary Oldman is fantastic in it. Would give it a go!

Pull the trigger. You'll enjoy it.

Damn, season three debuted with two episodes yesterday. Where the feck have I been?

see maybe I like The Morning Show because compared to some of the other shit I'd have to watch if it didn't exist it's perfectly serviceable.

I get that - I personally prefer to watch shite like Will and Grace because it has an almost antiquated charm about it (also, I've never seen it) and it's pretty inoffensively (gay stereotypes notwithstanding) bland overall, which I can live with. I found the Morning Show rather annoying because I'm pretty sure the people working on it believe they are doing something important and saying something about the topics in the show: journalism, Me Too, politics, etc. Which they really, really aren't.
