Half way into Ep.1 Zero Day on Netflix w. De Niro. Simply awful. There are better ways to occupy your time.

F1: The Academy is out on Netflix ......... undecided yet if I'll watch it over the next few flights today.

Have enjoyed Clarkson’s farm latest series.

Just when I was about to ditch Netflix, 3 eps into Dept Q. Well worth the watch.
There appear to be a number of other decent selections available now as well but the proof will be in the pudding.

That one is on my list. It looks like a similar concept to Slow Horses.

Don't think (?) I have watched Slow Horses, Netflix?

It's promoted as similar to Slow Horses and while it's quite good, it's just not in the same ballpark.

Its based on a brilliant book by Danish author Jussi alder-Olsen called ‘The Keeper of Lost Causes’
Well handled
Very different to Slow Horses but still very good

Apple TV.

Apple TV.

Try as I might to avoid another (10th streaming service) watching Slow Horses on my last flight pushed me over that threshold. Oldham is magic

I read an interview with Gary Oldham, about how he got into Slow Horses, which was fascinating. Mick Jagger who is a big fan of Mick Herons books did the opening song for free. They asked Gary when he was going to retire, and his answer was when they stop making Slow Horses. I can understand why, as his depiction of Jackson Lamb is just so great.

He’s brilliant in the series but the real character in the books is much rougher and far more degenerate.

Agree. It's really good. And yes, lots of series seemingly newly available. I refuse to get another streaming service so no Slow Horses for us then.

Its perfect

You can subscribe to Apple TV on a monthly basis, and turn it off once you have watched what you're after. That's what I do with Apple and Netflix.

More degenerate?! I'll have to read the books now to see how that's possible
