“That family. What a car crash.” (Slow Horses, s4 e5)
I got to Mick Herron’s series via Sanford’s Prey and Virgil Flower’s books. The character Lucas Davenport introduced me to the novels. Worked my way through the Slow Horses series, and I never could never tell, pastiche? Satire? A blatant farce drawn on the canon of John Le Carre?
I was never sure. Still not sure.
But it does remind me, ever so much, of the old London that I knew, decades passed.
The lead actor’s press material has been jubilantly funny, supposedly, just showing up for work with greasy hair, unbathed. It’s that gritty, dirty, sooty London I recall. The feeling conveys to me, anyway.
I recall the book that this recent season was based upon, but I don’t recall all of the conclusion.
It’s just delicious entertainment. Hyper-realistic, and yet, fairy-tale like, too.
Remarkable entertainment, but recall, I read the books, first.
