I enjoyed watching Fallout but never got around to watching Twisted Metal yet! It definitely looks just as gory & violent!!

Oh yeah! I so dig Jackson Lamb. The amount of filth, lack of self-care and utter disgust Oldman manages to convey is astounding. I honestly cringe a little every time I see him interact with other people and love him on the other hand.
The only problem I have with the show is that compared to Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas and maybe Christopher Chung the rest of the cast just falls short. Not because they are bad actors. But it is very hard to be placed side by side with such great actors and come off as someting else then mediocre. Although I do love Standish.

Am about to finish season 2. Very curious about the rest.

I can definitely see your perspective here but Roddy Ho and Cartwright pull this back for me. Roddy because he is such an unlikable punk and Cartwright because I find myself yelling at the screen as he decides to take action and then follows through. I don’t often read spy novels but I am tempted to give Mick Herron a go.
My only complaint is that I ration the episodes because I always want more. :disguised_face:
I love how Lamb is portrayed as such a miscreant but his brain is ten steps ahead of everyone else’s. Such a lovely unlikable bunch and so well made.

Oh yes. Yelling at Cartwright has become one of my favourite past times :grin: He is so utterly useless in a perfect kind of way, always stepping in every pile of dung :joy:
Roddy is gold. I am an IT-nerd myself and he voices a lot of the thoughts that sometimes come to mind when people come to me with their ‘computer problems’.

I also thought about reading the novels. I don’t know how close the series is to the books.

I just finished season two and almost left to late for my class cause I wanted to finish it first. Bloody awful binge material that show!

This is one I save to watch with my husband so no binging for me. It is almost comical how ready we have to be to decide to watch one together. If we are the least bit tired we put it off for another day so we can fully enjoy it.

Roddy is a really well thought out character. He’s very intelligent but horrible to women and they let you see that its because he wants to be with someone so badly. Then he has a soft side that he immediately squashes when someone notices. A joy to watch. A kid who needed hugged more.

Cartwright amuses me.
Lamb repulses me and then redeems himself and I can’t stop watching.

Im so so so pissed right now!
I was already excited seeing @Tragicfarinelli @TrustyBird @acromouse talking about Slow Horses and I thought if you guys like it, it must be good. Finally something to watch.
But yeah, only on Apple TV, which I don’t have. .

I’m watching Penguin on hbo max now (about the one from Gotham city). Not bad.

Nope. Just finished it. The whole story line was just awful, and such a waste of characters.

I’ve given up after two episodes. Felt forced and playing to it’s own reputation. Pretty poop.
