What didnt you buy (besides the cringe sex scenes?

Spoiler!

I think its pretty clear that the believability of the "flashbacks" are from the mind of a grieving mother with no actual knowledge of what happened outside of some pictures and a death

On to S4 now. Such a great show blending intrigue and humour. Gotta love cheering for the underdogs.

Well the weapon's use was silly and unrealistic.

This show is best when it flirts with espionage, running around shooting is not that.

Season 3 was yuck

Slow Horses rocks simply because they have like a 9 month turnaround between seasons.

Show me another scripted TV program with that kind of output, it's nuts.

I understand it needs to look like she is at least partially responsible for his death, but just the whole way that entire scene played out was difficult for me. So I guess specifically everything about the drowning. If some fishing boat has struck him, no problem. Or something. That somehow this 4yo kid hauled this dinghy past a beach full of people out into the water, or that 'a great swimmer' swam out to save the kid but couldn't make it back, or at least stay afloat long enough to be rescued. I didn't buy that they would just quit CPR after 2 minutes. Was just disappointed with it, while understanding that the only point was implicating her.

Not sure a spoiler, but just to be safe:
Aside from that, do we know that these scenes are the fictional imagination of momma, based on the photos - or are we watching what really happened without yet knowing what exactly was written?

It used to be pretty routine. It's a unicorn these days, for sure.

I never did subscribe to the fan theory that Bill was his real dad, but he sure does look like Bill

Finished season 2 of "The Devil's Hour" on Amazon. 7/10 show. Definetely worth the watch IMO has some "Dark" vibes too it. Apparently the next season is the final one so Ill be interested to see how they bow it all up.

Cotton would roll over in his tiny grave

First of all...you sold me at Bruce Campbell.

Bruce Campbell = Yes.

I tried watching something on CBC Gem, and the four same full length commercials play every ten minutes. Made the entire streaming channel unwatchable. Cool.

Don't expect any competition for ad space or quality control when the government is there to cover all the bills.

Should mention, just finished watching Sweetpea, overall liked it, looking forward to season 2.

Spoiler!

Kinda like Dexter but not physically superior and without Harry's code.

The Korean supernatural thirller Hellbound finally has a season 2 on Netflix; watched the first episode and had to stop to watch a Youtube recap of season one because it's been three years.

Another Netflix series has a season two starting next week, Arcane. Looks like this will be the second and last season of the show.

I read a synopsis that says he cooks with charcoal.


Hank must love that.
