Only 6 episodes per season, 5 seasons out so far, so you can get through it pretty quickly. We just watched all of it; it's all good, though maybe Season 5 is not quite as good as the others. I recommend it.
We’ve been watch DTF: St. Louis. It’s meh.

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.
