Spies who are bad at their jobs, on purpose
Gary Oldman in a filthy coat is still the best thing Apple has going.
Slow Horses (2025)
MINUTECRITIC · Jun 20, 2026
Slow Horses is the spy show for people who are tired of handsome spies. Oldman plays a man who looks like he slept in the office because he did. The cases are messy. The jokes are mean. London looks wet.
Each season is a closed job, which I appreciate. You can actually finish something. If you have been waiting for a reason to start, this is it. If you are already in, you know.
Start from season one. The new season still works if you already live in that office.

NFL Week 1, as a broadcast
Television/Sep 13, 2026
Opening Sunday is television first. The games are the programming.
A full slate, three windows, and a night game that exists to keep the lights on after dinner.

The August holdover

August TV is leftovers and football
The prestige shows took the month off. The apps did not. Neither did the preseason.

The kitchen is still screaming
I love this show and I also need it to let a scene breathe.
