I think that is being unfair. They all have some skills, they are just damaged in some way or are not quite slick enough in what they do. Add to that, they know they are not getting out of Slough House, Slough House is grim, and they sink to that level in terms of clothes, demeanour etc. Those skills will ultimately save the day, haven't seen the last one yet but that is usually what happens

His Myron Bolitar series is pretty solid, kind of fun but good characters.I think that is being unfair.

I haven't seen the TV version but the books I suspect give more useful background to the characters
I watched the series first, then read the books. I'll start book 5 shortly. The series stays pretty close to the books and the characters are a very fair representation imo. The characters do get fleshed out pretty well but you can never match the depths of the written word. That's the same with all books converted into tv shows. Saying that, the tv show is a real pleasure, it is well worth watching.
Totally agree, it is currently our favourite tv show.
I thought the new guy was remarkably similar

. I don't worry about knowing everything that is going on.
It's one of the Hemsworth? kin.....he isn't doing a "bad" job.....Just hard to fit in as well as Carvill. Kind of like the Reacher flicks with Tom Cruise....I think they are fine but my wife just complains about them because Reacher is supposed to be a big hunk of a guy. Some things are just hard to accept....I thought the new guy was remarkably similar
I'm not 100% sure what is going on, so many characters, can't fully remember everything that happened in the last series. I just go with the flow watching it
He is physically similar, same wig, same leather gear, same whispery voice. I thought he did a decent job, definitely not a Reacher situation. I was surprised how similar he was.

Oh, I'll keep watching it. There aren't that many things on tv I like and it's just got that one little hiccup for me.

Good first episode, some suitably gruesome scenes.
. Olyphant didn't have to do much of anything different to take up the Raylan Givens character in Justified.Loved Deadwood, depressing, funny, gory and I assume a fairly accurate depiction of the era. I still remember Calamity Jane's speech to the Primary school and how she describes General Custer, one of my favourite TV moments.Oh, I'll keep watching it.

Talking about depressing.... Getting towards the end of the 2nd season of Deadwood. I grew up in a logging community, worked with loggers, most of 30 years as a teacher......nothing comes even close to the number of F....., C......, CS I've heard out of that show. We had my wife's grandkids (13 year old twins) down for almost a week and we had to turn the sound down (they were upstairs glued to their phones) to make sure we weren't corrupting them
Yeah, I looked online to see how it ended and it said the follow-up movie ended things pretty well.
