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.

As soon as we finish Last of Us, we’re gonna start this.

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.

Last One Laughing UK is on Amazon Prime and it’s worth it just for the interactions between Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayeouede

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.
