Four episodes in (review access) and it's very good.

Heh, although the fifth and sixth episodes are where this show has traditionally had problems sticking the landing.

Not surprising, book 4 is probably the best one

I would’ve watched regardless but great to hear these reviews.

Sunny S1, Bad Monkey S1, Pachinko S2, and Slow Horses S4 all received great reviews. I hope the first three continue (Slow Horses is already renewed) and receive promotion and marketing efforts.

Sunny is already so padded out beyond the source material. I’m enjoying it, but I’d prefer they just wrap up a compelling story and call it a day.

Hopefully, the multiple Emmy nominations will finally give this gem more of the attention it deserves.

Slow Horses went from the top 25 to the top 5 here in Brazil. These awards efforts always give shows a buzz and in an atypical period for the TV universe, with much less stuff being made out there, several older shows can gain traction with good marketing.

I was hoping for the Americans to get a reboot. And then this show made me not care about it anymore. This show is so good

How are you reviewing the new season when it’s not out yet?0

I find Season 4 a bit predictable. Was I the only one who figured out who River was by the end of episode 2?
