I’ve started watching The Sandbaggers, which is a spy show from the late ‘70s/early ‘80s. If you like Slow Horses, you should give this a whirl. I downloaded it but I think it’s also on Prime.

Just watched a scene where a couple of characters are running down a list of field agents, and one they named was Cartwright. Makes you think!

“Do you know Hopkins?”
“Yes, he was a mourner at my wedding.”

The writing on this show is excellent.

Just finished Season 1 (only seven episodes) and this was incredible.

Mrs Wease didn’t care for the first Sandbaggers episode so I’m going the rest of the journey alone. I love it. I’m only 3 episodes in, but I’m all in.

I don’t think we have an Aussie tv thread so

Anyone down under watch Deadloch? Great crime drama with one of the best characters in recent memory. She’s like an Aussie version of Jackson Lamb.
