It's a series with a gentle amble, an easy watch that's well acted with a decent story running through it. For me it wasn't a side splitting situation comedy but a very English setting of summer and the outdoors.

Definitely mate - it’s incredibly English in vibe.

'The Outlaws' on BBC is absolutely brilliant. Funny, but equally thrilling and edgy. Highly recommend!

I have read most of Mick Herrons books (on to Bad Actors now and all the ‘Oxford’ series) and I find them a really strange enjoyable read. The question is - do I start watching ‘Slow Horses’ or will I find them a disappointment? I always like to read the book before the film as I then see it as I want to see it and not as someone else sees it.
its very similar to early doors in that you either get it or you dont, the subtle nods and things you grew up with will either resonate or they wontIt's a series with a gentle amble, an easy watch that's well acted with a decent story running through it.

But Early Doors is rolling round on the floor in bits hilarious and this, just isn’t.

She's Diana Riggs daughter, not that it makes a difference.Not sure mate. It just seems to drift by. It’s not funny, it’s not poignant, the characters all seem a bit beige and the main guy’s wife is annoying as fuck.
It doesn’t leave me itching to watch the next one or needing to binge it.
Does it suddenly click into gear at some point?
As someone said earlier it has a cult following, metal detectorists and Triumph TR7 owners.

I too have read the books, the TV series is a pretty good adaptation, Gary Oldman is how I pictured Jackson Lamb, and other castings are accurate.I have read most of Mick Herrons books (on to Bad Actors now and all the ‘Oxford’ series) and I find them a really strange enjoyable read.
