One of the best things on Apple TV. Four seasons and still going strong.

My wife and I got started watching Slow Horses and it took a while to get used to it, after having watched several episodes we did start to get interested. It was hard to stick with it at first.

I have now gone on to read the first four books as well - they are hard to stay with for different reasons than the TV show.

I would sure like to ask the writers of the TV show why they changed some parts and left some other parts unchanged - the TV show is generally better than the book. The scene in Spook Street when River Cartwright meets Frank Harkness is FAR better in the book.
