Why didn’t anyone tell me season 2 has started?
My favourite thing from last year.

If you have any Barclays products check in the app - they’re offering a few free months to most apple services (even if you’ve had some free before)

It is excellent - I only watched the first series a couple of months ago, but read the books a while back. I didn't think Oldman would be right as Jackson Lamb, but he's pretty outstanding; and many of the rest of the cast are spot on too

Thanks!

Never looked at their offers....

EDIT: Not offering me anything other than Avios points in exchange for £12 / month...

He's very good, even if they've written TV Lamb quite a bit nicer than the books. I can almost forgive his shite Smiley.

LG TV have a 3month offer at the moment. Bumble (!) has a two month offer.

Pretty sure there will be lots of other offers around, unless apple just really want me as a customer 😀

Yes, good point - he's a misanthrope, but really he's got a heart of gold, type thing...

I signed up just after I posted above, and have just got my email with a link to sign up for 3 months free  - was expecting it to be actually 2 months and 3 weeks as I've previously had a 3 month free trial during which I watched the original series, but no, looks like the full whack.

Stll not much on there I want to watch apart from Slow Horses, mind...

Enjoying SH so far.

I think Herron is giving the series a miss for his next book and doing a stand-alone.

Just watched it on appletv, another goodun. Is it wrong to hold "what would Jackson do?" as an operating manual for life?

"Sorry, that lingered a bit" made me snort out loud

Started watching this the other week as I got a 6 month trial. Absolutely fantastic and Oldmsn is superb. The scene where he’s sat eating the Chinese was utterly disgusting. I hate noisy eaters, Oldman looked like he loved that scene.

If, like me, you signed up for an Apple trial in order to watch Slow Horses, then Blackbird is worth a watch, it's pretty standard serial killer fare tbh based on a true story. I enjoyed Causeway with Jennifer Lawrence too. Apple TV is pretty light on thrills.

Bad sisters was pretty good TBF.

I tried on this, I really did, but it felt like a slog. I think it's because there isn't really a single likeable character apart from the insurance broker's brother; and the husband is loathsome. In theory it should work ("you hate this guy, now find out how he died"), but not for me.
