I'm 3 eps in on season 5. I don't recall the previous 4 seasons using continual character stupidity in order to move the plot forward but it's been awhile since I watched season 4 and I haven't rewatched any. Season 5 isn't terrible but it seems lacking in sophistication.

yeah, this one has been a bit of a letdown. like they are running out of steam

I'm one ep into season 3. This is a show I virtually ONLY watch when I'm on a plane. So it's taken me like a year and a half to get this far as I couldn't get the wife to buy in. It's so good, I have to lock in.

I'm really starting to like the guy playing Coe.  He's one creepy looking bastard.

Looks like George Kirby in his hoodie.  Or Kirby looks like him. 

I finally got caught up in time for the finale.  The caulk gun sniper rifle was cool.  I've read the books so I knew the paint can to the dome was coming but I still laughed.

Solid finale and fun season.  The previews for next season look amazing. 

Good season.  The guy playing Whelan was a perfect smarmy bastard.

All the above and we get Hugo Weaving back, another great character. This may be my favorite show going right now.

Fucking lulz

Also, I fucking hate Whelan. That dude is so incompetent, he should be an American appointee. Great head of hair though, which I appreciate more and more as I age

I would kill for Anson Mount’s hair.  I mean, sure I’d be in prison, but that hair, at his age.

in prison you don’t need good hair to get laid.

Lamb gonna need to get that foot looked at.

It's been healed a while.  Remember the story about the agent that was tortured by the Stasi?

That was the most disgusting shot of the entire season.

Jackson Lamb is my spirit animal. One of the best characters on TV. I love this show and can’t wait for season 6. 

Lamb's "Five Fs" in the season 6 preview were classic.

 Jackson Lamb lists his version of the Five Fs as a darkly humorous profanity: "Who the fuck, what the fuck, where the fuck, and why the fuck?" To which, when corrected that that is only four Fs, he replies, "Fuck off! That's five!".

This was the first season where a character dies in the book but they didn't follow it in the show. 

Herron has mentioned regretting killing off so many Slow Horses. Maybe he asked them to keep him/her.

Wouldn't know it from the new book

I love the show but this was my least favorite season because the bad guys were a bit generic and MI5 was over the top incompetent. Whelan is a beating, and I get that he’s supposed to be a lackluster character, but his scenes felt like network television slop.

The previews for next season look great. Have they already filmed the entire season?

Season 5 was pretty light and fluffy.. just finished it and i hardly remember anything about it. There was probably a bit too much of Slough House always showing up a the right time and at the right place this season.

and yeah, we got hit a bit too hard on the head with the hammer in regards to the the incompetent male at 1st desk contrasted with the competent female at 2nd desk.

Agreed with all of the above. Honestly, even a down season of Slow Horses is better than most of the shit out right now, but Whelan was a fucking joke, and completely distracted from the show. Next season looks legit 

I can just see Taverner in one of those minis.

This is definitely one of my favorite shows.   I blew through this last season is about 3 days.

She's also incompetent, at the spy stuff at least.  Pretty good at cya.  London rules vs Moscow rules.
