Yes, Minister is a favorite of mine, so this has been on my radar for some time, but my Mormon sensibilities kept me from watching such a sweary show for a long time. (To be fair, I don’t know if I knew how to stream it either).
It is a delightful mashup of the sweary incompetence of Slow Horses with the premise of Yes, Minister, and I’m glad I watched it even if it didn’t always land with me.

Just want to clarify I was already drawing a connection between Slow Horses and The Thick of It before Struan Loy showed up in the second season of the latter.
Slow Horses Season 6 made a lot of strange adaptation choices, but I appreciate that they kept the “Poirot” bit and made it work for television despite being so heavily dependent on narration in the original.
I have one question about the upcoming season of Slow Horses, and it is whether it will confirm my theory that one throwaway detail in the source material is a deliberate reference to the Franco-Belgian comic series XIII.
