That's it, I'm done with 'From', life is too short for this lack of progression, plus some of the characters are turning into annoying cunts..

Started "The Day Of The Jackal" on Saturday and then nearly finished it on Sunday - one more episode to go - pretty much flawless television.

The music is excellent also. 

[Carnage]

Three episodes in myself, it's much better than I'd expected. Doesn't have much to do with the book or film though.

First episode of Wolf Hall: The Mirror And The Light was decent. A few roles recast hut most of the key players returned. A six episode series this time, no harm as the previous one compressed and omitted a lot from the books.

Ripping through The Diplomat. Even with the DEI on steroids casting it's really good.

Tore through season 4 of Slow Horses. Weaving was a bit of a non-event in it, didn't bring any "star" quality at all, but apart from that the overall level was as high as ever. In any case, I think I'd happily watch a whole show in which Oldman's Jackson Lamb was the only main character!

Yeah! Weaving was a bit meh, for sure.
But I reckon it's building to more.
They always have the next season in mind, going the the 'Next Season' previews at the end of each final episode.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yah, I skipped the preview of the next season, but looking forward to it. Also just found out that the theme tune is an original that Jagger and the show's composer wrote and recorded for the series. Never having been a huge Stones fan, I'd just presumed it was some old deep cut I didn't know. They fair knocked the authentic vintage production out of the park (no pun intended  )

[Emphyrio]

Weaving walks a fine line between cheese and gravitas. Cheesy in this for sure but it didn't detract from the show

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

From fictitious to real world terrorism (sort of): hit the first two episodes of Say Nothing tonight. Daycent so far. Funny seeing Rory Kinnear play Frank Kitson in it, quite the character shift from Tom Bombadil! 

[Carnage]

How are the accents? Usually Brits make a balls of Nordie accents and it's generally a dealbreaker for me.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I haven't gone through them all to see who's from where, but I think most of the central cast are Irish (north or south) actors. Only wee bit of accent wavering I heard so far was from Tom Vaughan-Lawlor playing the older version of Brendan Hughes.

Bizarelly, Tom Vaughn-Lawlor does a better English and American accent than any Irish accent.

If you listen to him as Nidge in "Love/Hate" the inner-city Dublin accent wavers a fair bit over the course of the series - especially if you know people who actually talk like that.

I'm going to watch "Say Nothing" but I can't imagine it will have the impact that the book had.

I thought that this season of "Slow Horses" was a but of a non-runner and I say that as a fan of the show.

Oldman and Lowden were criminally under-used. Weaving is hammy and completely boring.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

With Nidge I thought it worked with the kind of wannabe rather than genuine hard lad he portrays. He might have been aiming for genuine like, but the misses worked with the character  Been planning on watching that again actually. Those last few seasons were so good.

I found season one very hard to get through. But then it was stellar for the next few seasons. Found the last season lagged a bit.
