What’s funny is that I watched the first season of slow horses, really enjoyed it, and can’t tell you a damn thing about it. Barely a year ago too. I haven’t been able to motivate myself to watch season two because I can’t remember why I liked season one lol
I think I like it because it’s a classic spy thriller with comedy. Some interesting characters portrayed by stellar performers. Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) and Diana Taverner (Kirsten Scott Thomas) are so good.
And season four has a beautiful piece of slapstick where the self important River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) falla flat on his face in a moment of triumph
Yeah I definitely remember how it felt, I’m just struck at how I can’t remember any names, any bits of the plot, any lines, etc. yet I’d still totally recommend it!
I find the limit to be useful. It prevents random relationship drama and filler.
But I think both film and television series work great for different stories. Having television without a definitive end makes stories weirdly convoluted and meaningless as they try to change another season, just the same as the empty film sequel.
I have a 2 year old so what I find time to see is quite limited. Perhaps my opinion is a result of watching TV-shows adapted from books (Slow Horses), reality (Clarkson’s Farm) and crime/thrillers with a “monster of the week” structure, but with a slight narrative over a season (criminal minds)
I hardly watch movies anymore since I find the format limited compared to TV shows.
Last TV show - Slow Horses season 4
Last original movie in a movie theater was probably the Pokemon Movie.
Last movie in a movie theater was Dune part one. (Which for one was a hell of a good remake tbh)

Slow Horses is so freaking good.
