I did think hearing her husband say
- Spoiler: show
- "You always come home" or whatever it was exaclty
was essential to his character and to their relationship. That was really nice and helped differentiate him from Toby in a meaningful way.

Thanks for chatting about this show. It's been nice to have these exchanges/insights/discussions. I know there weren't a ton of us going on the journey in real time. But this has been awesome and meant a lot to me.

It’s all one big meta thing.

- Libby came back home, so Rachel has to as well. Because Rachel is actually Libby, sort of.
This article with Lizzy Caplan and the author/show runner alludes to it:

Did that need to be said though? The scene could have easily worked just as well with no dialogue at all.

There is so much packed into the line. I'm glad it's there.

The first episode of Yellowstone. Mostly underwhelming for a pilot. I'm going to tell myself it gets better and watch the next few.

Love these short seasons, I finished this in 2 days! I liked this a lot, at its core it’s basic spy stuff, and the misfits angle isn’t exactly original, but so many characters are charming in a very British way that makes it an easy watch.
Probably my favorite part was
- Spoiler: show
- the way Min’s car could only play that one Coldplay song. It wasn’t done to death but was funny every time it happened.

Just finished episode 4 of season 2 of Slow Horses--this is even more intense than the first season and is more spy-crafty. Good stuff.

Very much on the fence with continuing after watching the first 3 episodes. Does it pick up steam? The only character i'm all that interested in is Kayce.
