Watched episode 2. Very good.

" There were extenuating circumstances"
"What were they"
"I couldn't be arsed...."

Writing was back on point.

I sighed when I saw the story thinly veiled premise for S5, come on, this was so much fun before, I hope this is not going to be another lecture. I wouldn't **** on Farage if he was on fire, but I don't want an the nose "modern day politics" season. I truly hope it broadens out from this into something really interesting

Yeah I'm not gonna lie I also was a bit.... Oh god here we go, a little bit close to "the real world" right now.

Had a Google....

Im terrible for what was going on 10-11 years ago but I dont think too much has really changed since then, just politically intensified? Brexit inspired but redone for the current political BS.?

Better episode back on track.

Agreed, although it annoyed me how myopic/ignorant Ho was to the situation. He's always been…icky with women but he’s never struck me as plain stupid.

First episode: opening was good, then a lot of meh.

Second episode: much better.

I'm not saying they should be super spies, but the Slough House team are wastes of space. MH issues, drug issues and just plain incompetent. I've worked with the Security Services and tbh, some of them have brains the sizes of planets, even the ones out on the ground are intelligent people. Is this poetic licence for the TV or are they as bad as this in the books?

I appreciate they are agents moved out of the Park, but they are just bumbling imbeciles.

That’s the point. But not quite. Don’t treat it as a documentary and enjoy the ride.

Gary Oldman is getting a bad back from carrying everyone else in this series so far…
