So, this season's "Slow Horses" is an adaptation of two sequential novels in Mick Herron's series. Somehow, they seem to have preserved the central conflicts and are carrying all the arcs forward simultaneously. This is great writing, adapted from great writing. I am impressed. OTOH, they're skimping a bit on the humor. One of these novels had, hands down, some of the funniest dialogue and some of the funniest physical comedy I've ever read, and I don't see how either one is going to be screened. Anyway, read the books or watch the show or do both. #slowHorses #mickHerron #bookstodon

I can't help thinking River and Shirley from #SlowHorses are morons.
