Not sure, but it’s definitely one of the best British detective shows produced so far. I like the portrayal of a detective completely frustrated with work and life while searching for a better career path.
(And thankfully, Honeysuckle Weeks has not proven to be the sidekick that is problematic in real life, like Laurence Fox has.)
Sorry what?
Agreed. She seems to be everywhere these days, and really showed what she can do in White Lotus 2.
Check out Safety Not Guaranteed.
Honeysuckle Weeks played Morse’s driver and sometimes private detective assistant. From what I know, she’s a good egg, despite difficulties with alcohol.
Laurence Fox played junior detective Hathaway in Inspector Lewis, and…well, see for yourself.
Maybe so but Parks and Rec IIRC totally worked internationally. Sometimes the way to be universal is to be really, really specific. I think Joyce said that more or less. I just didn’t watch it. I mean to, after watching a couple, but I stopped watching telly for a while or something and never got around to it which is why she was a surprise to me when I saw her in Black Bear.
Getting caught up on the 4th season of Handmaid’s Tale… god damn, that scene where June shows up at the prison where Serena is being held, and then gives her a piece of her mind…
While we’re on the topic of good, overlooked Aubrey Plaza movies…
Here’s another piece to read:
Thanks! Not much there tho that I haven’t already heard.
And, leave it to a man to dismiss the actual lived experience of a woman. 
I like a lot about the film, but I’m with Alsop on what’s wrong with telling a successful woman’s story the way it does.
I hope there are others here as excited for the return of Yellowjackets as I am.
I’m four episodes in and I’ve just gotta say: every word that Gary Oldman says makes this show all the more worthwhile.
Definitely worth watching! Lots of loose ends get tied up by the end of the season, too.
She’s also great as Lenny in the bestest Marvel show ever, Legion!
Have you read the books? I just started watching, but Lamb is great in the books, as well…
One thing I have to say about Slow Horses is… I think Gary Oldman is great, but having read (many if) the books first, and I hate myself for this, but I always pictured Jackson Lamb (looks-wise) as Steve Bannon.
Well, I for one and very happy that they chose to go a different route then! Imagine having to look at Steve Bannon for the entire series.
I tried scrolling upthread, but perhaps it was in another one that someone mentioned this:
Really worth it. Funny, with a side of funny.
This show is crazy! One part true crime, one part Adaptation (Nic Cage), and one part Michael Scott’s Threat Level Midnight. Hoo-boy!
