Binged our way through season 3 of Slow Horses

Gary Oldman is a delight as Jackson Lamb, who is anything but delightful.

And Season 4 is in the can  (According to Gary Oldman , on various publicity talks / interviews)

 

 

 

 

I was a bit floored that 6 ~42-45 minute episodes constitutes a season these days? I've watched half of "Season 3". Love the show but seems like a rather light season...

Why do a lot of uk tv shows only do 6 episodes a ...

" UK shows are written like a novel. American shows are written like a franchise"  

13 episode shows would give you a season, four seasons would give you a year-round franchise. 

A short series makes sense in this case as the source material is a novel. 

Quality over quantity? Or just what the UK based production is used to?

Echo (Disney+) - Finally something decent out of the MCU since the whole Avengers story arc. Actor Alaqua Cox, who plays the titular character (aka Maya Lopez), is actually deaf, actual indigenous, and actually an aputee - all of which are incpororated into the storyline.

NASCAR: Full Speed

Drive to survive, but NASCAR?

Yeah, I enjoyed this. Only 5 episodes so short and sweet.

Sadly this does almost nothing to educate race-curious people like me on their sport. I know there is strategy, skill, and cool engineering that goes in to oval track racing but you get none of it here.

The difference between NASCAR and F1 also couldn't be more stark.

Still, this was fun and I recommend it.
