they say you should never meet your heroes, but it was truly an honor to pay my respects
three seasons—18 episodes—in to SLOW HORSES, and i unreservedly love almost everything about the show. the characters. the humor. the heartbreak. the banter. the pacing. the action. the flatulence. it's a wonderful, well-made show. the one thing that i hate? that garbage fucking theme song.

“The Chair Company” Is a Horror Show About The Workplace
Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin’s new show is distinctly more surreal and uncanny than “Severance.”

Sharing art isn't quite the same as creating it in the first place, but it's akin to that in that you are making its exist for others who might not have known it otherwise. It's an act of kindness and generosity. Something wrong with your soul if you never ever do that.

Can you imagine, I don't know, whoever you're thinking of, posting a picture of the ocean that they took? Or about a movie in aesthetic terms and not as part of political discourse? One of the great pleasures in life is sharing something beautiful with others.
