Anyone watched Slow Horses. Only on Apple TV at moment but my word its good.
Gary Oldman is just superb. Also love the opening and closing music by Mick Jagger and not usually too keen on him.
 
I saw it too, well worth a watch, a big fan of Gary Oldman & for me he really makes it -
Loved the theme tune so much downloaded it & the lyrics.
 

Mick Jagger – Strange Game - Lyrics

Surrounded by losers
Misfits and boozers
Hanging by your fingernails
You made one mistake
You got burned at the stake
You're finished, you're foolish, you failed

There's always a hope
On this slippery slope
Somewhere a ghost of a chance
To get back in that game
And burn off your shame
And dance with the big boys again

It's a strange, strange game
Strange, strange game
Such a shame, shame, shame
Yes a strange game

You got to carry the blame
In this strange game
You're out on a limb
And you're trying to get in
It's a strange game

You piled up the corpses
Exhausted your sources
Living right under a cloud
The odds are against you
The gods haven't blessed you
You better get back on the rails

Drill down on the data
Keep pushing the paper
The damps dripping down on the walls
It's a million to one
There's a place in the sun
To dance with the big boys again

It's a strange, strange game
Strange, oh, so strange
You don't even know my real name
It's a strange game

You got to carry the blame
In this strange strange game
You're out on a limb
Trying hard to get in
It's a strange game
 
Gary Oldman is superb I'm afraid for me the show does not live up to his standards.

The characters don't talk to each other which would solve half their problems or like River they just dash off not thinking about the consequences.

I know it's not meant to be serious but I find too many of the minor characters annoying e.g. . the new First Desk aka Tory Boy.

Gary and Kristin get a 9/10 the plots and the rest of the cast get a 4/10 for me.

Maybe you need a Specsavers trip, Slow Horses is Brilliant
 
Gary Oldman at his finest.

He is a great actor who somehow always seems to look and sound different every role. Some of the plots are a bit contrived but it's brilliant viewing
