I recommend it.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
Slow Horses is great. It's a shame we've seen it all already. Started The Americans last night. It wasn't bad but the production quality feels like a cable TV series. Not sure if that makes sense and can't put a finger on it. We will see if we continue or if I can convince my wife to finally give The Wire a go with me instead.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 6:51 amMy wife and I just finished watching Slow Horses on Apple TV.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
I LOVE The Americans. Didn't miss an episode. Also LOVE The Wire. So you can't go wrong either way but I advise watching both. BTW, I was all set to watch S1 finale of The Leftovers last night but was too tired. Wanted to be fresh. Tonight.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 9:49 amSlow Horses is great.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
Good to know! I think we should watch more of The Americans. I really enjoyed the premise of the first episode and the FBI counterintelligence agent moving in next door. A lot of cast I recognized as well from other shows and movies.Superbone wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 10:30 amI LOVE The Americans. Didn't miss an episode. Also LOVE The Wire.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
As someone who watched, and really enjoyed The Americans, you've gotta prioritize The Wire. It's an all-timer. It may be a little less accessible of a series / less of a popcorn-Hollywood type watch, but it's just so rich and well done. Sneaky funny like The Sopranos, too.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 9:49 amSlow Horses is great. It's a shame we've seen it all already. Started The Americans last night.

2nd episode of The Americans was very good.

Really enjoyed Leftovers S1 finale. Lots of crazy stuff but then a little light at end of the tunnel to end it. Looking forward to S2.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
S2E1. Talk about a departure! (Pun intended.) Seemed like a totally different show from the intro to the brand new opening credits with a whole new tone. Different town. Didn't even revisit S1 characters until 2/3 of the way through the episode.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
Wife and I are starting Paradise, season 2. We have watched 2 episodes so far. We are enjoying it. Season 1 was decent but bumpy with some big flaws. Without spoiling, the plotting and characters didn't always make sense and overall it felt like a jumbled mess by the end. And the villains were really cheesy and obvious and over the top. Season 2 seems to be kind of a mostly-reboot of the show and a focus on some new characters integrating with core characters from season 1, not totally unlike The Leftovers season 2 in fact. Maybe they took some feedback and are improving the show in the second go-around. So far so good.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
My wife and I watched the first episode of the new season of For All Mankind. We kind of weren't into it. We have enjoyed this show but it feels like it has kind of run its course. We'll try 1-2 more and see if it gets better.
