Gary's entrances have become epic. In Tinker Tailor he is on screen for a long time before even speaking, acting with looks and body language alone. In Slow Horses he farts sooo loud he wakes himself up! Brilliant!
I just binged watched Season I and 2 and jumped for joy when I learned there will be a 2 and 3. So I then binged I and 2 again. Fabulous scrips, fabulous acting, making people happy all around the world. Plus, I had just recently watched Jack Lowden in War and Peace where he did a bang up job. And, I’ve been a fan of Gary Oldman’s for years. His Dracula movie is brilliant. (PJ in USA)
I love these actors playing these characters - brilliant! We can’t lose SID for good!,she did get shot in the head - but they wrote it so she was untraceable - no funeral etc…. I really hope they bring her back in this next season - she & Jack are perfect together. They’ve got a gem in “Standish” character - she is brilliant & a perfect match w/ Gary Oldman’s character - Lamb. All of them are the best - can’t wait for season 3
One can almost smell him, which is of course, exactly what he wants. Hides the keen mind behind the exterior. Brilliant. He's also great as an evil cop.
It’s an amazing series ,great acting ,really good writing very interesting subjects no a dull moment on it ,love Gary Oldman and the handsome Jack Lowden !
OMG!! I'VE SAID THAT VERY THING!! His hands have a sensuality that I've NEVER noticed on ANY man. I find myself watching their movements in his films. They are maculine, delicate, sensual and oh so sexy to me and seem to have their OWN script. I would love to caress them......kiss them. BEAUTIFUL man, BEAUTIFUL hands.
Dracula , Leon and many other roles he brings something very special to a role and l imagine if you work with him you’d learn loads he is an actor who seems to pick his work carefully? This is a great show probably the best show on TV shame it’s stuck on Apple !
We thought so too at first..really loving his acting but he is really intrinsically too funny and such a warm person to be Bond..but hope he proves us wrong
I just discovered this marvelous falderal last week! 🤯 Love it. I CARE about all these characters, that’s the difference (whereas I care for only a couple in James Bond). Am listening to Slough House, we call it “sluff” in America, like sluffing off dead skin. 😂 The slow horses are the dead skin. I (re)watched Tinker Tailor twice this weekend just to see Gary O. in all his glory as Smiley. I would love to hear Saskia’s mother’s relationship to food (she mentioned it in another YT clip). I’m so happy Sid has appeared again. ✊🏻✊🏻
I'm gonna guess Jack is Scottish and River isn't. Mick Herron's books are delicious and funny, and seeing how the show's writers have translated his stories to the screen means I'm going to be reading the books all over again. And then watching the shows again. Good stuff.
Lowden sounds so very much different from his character. As a scot he seems even to have a darker voice, as River Cartright so much more bright and light.
This interview is WONDERFUL! Most interviews are cringeworthy - no chemistry between interviewer and interviewee. This style provides the questions, but no personality. The chemistry comes from the actors' comraderie. Highly recommend. :)
Who are the casting / script writing idiots who think that Jackson Lamb is a cocky Essex boy, judging by Oldman's estuary accent? Lamb is obviously a smartarse former public schoolboy, who just about made it through Oxbridge before being (probably) being sent down just after being recruited by MI5 before he graduated. No one else would have the confidence to be so insolent, the intelligence, vocabulary and ironic wit to convey his level of contempt for everyone else, while obviously being too lazy to only extend himself when his own little fiefdom is threatened. Also, why does Oldman's Lamb dress like a failed middle aged hipster?

Seen the 2nd season, pretty good but to be excellent it shouldn't end so well and with so much action. Please! you're Brits!, show some respect to the master, Le Carre I mean, rely a bit more on understatement, cynicism and the intellectual struggle right to the end, felt it let itself go at the end. And no, the cynical power-play at the top doesn't do it for me, that's cliched. So, really good but a bit cheesy towards the end. The archive-bound ugly know-all is the too-obvious Le Carre bit, so no, that doesn't do it for me neither. Also, the Asian asshole is so over the top, you can't plausibly be such a dick, not even in that context, it's actually seditious. And can Gary's character wash sometimes? becasue if he never does that is overdoing it too, maybe after visiting a Turkish bath to pick up some intel? You can be sloppy and still be clean sometimes. The characters are too cliched, again the understatement fails, a cardinal sin for a Brit. You can be a bit more ambitious by being bit more serious sometimes, it might actually work. Gary, your character is exactly what Seymor Hoffman did in A Most Wanted Man but his was serious. You know, a bit of fear, vertigo, and doubt instead of unassailable cockiness, for a change. A bit of that would make this series just perfect.
Agree - mostly. Perhaps worth making the point that Le Carré didn't have any involvement in this, and is now dead, However, I agree about Oldman's portrayal of Lamb. So many things don't chime with how he reads in the novels, and Oldman playing him as a cocky Essex wideboy ..... is just WRONG !!!!! Such a person would not have Lamb's wit, or self confidence / arrogance / contempt for colleagues and superiors. That could only come from an education via certain private schools and then Oxbridge in the UK. I haven't seen the Series, only clips on TH-cam, but they are enough for me to not want to see any more .
It would be great if they had a fantasy episode of some kind that allowed the character of Drexel from “True Romance” to pop in to Britain. “It ain’t white boy day!”
One of the best shows going. Gary Oldman is brilliant in it. Who needs a James Bond when you have a Jackson Lamb.
Wel James Bond washed himself , did not fart EVER, was wel dressed , had a great haircut, was a lady's man etc.. 😂😂👍👍
I can appreciate both.
I’m loving this show. Fantastic performances from great actors.
Slow Horses audiobooks are on YT.
Love Saskia Reeves. She has one of those marvelous voices that are just enchanting.
I would watch anything with Gary Oldman. Literally anything
Ich auch❤
This!
This series is a slow burn, despite its fast pace. Love it. and the talent. Wish it wouldn't end...
Gary Oldman is beautiful in his mastery. One of the greatest of the greats of our time. Beautiful. Grateful. Thank you.
Gary's entrances have become epic. In Tinker Tailor he is on screen for a long time before even speaking, acting with looks and body language alone. In Slow Horses he farts sooo loud he wakes himself up! Brilliant!
Have you seen the Alec Guinness version of Smiley? I recommend it to you. It may help put Oldman's effort in perspective.
@@andrewthegraciouslordrober327 I have watched Alec Guinness performance of Smiley in the TTSS and SP series more times than I can remember.
Repeated fart jokes usually don't do it for me BUT Gary Oldman is so good that every time he makes one I'm laughing 😅
Yes yes yes as George Smiley he did give Sir Alex a run for his money but in this he is superb
Where can I find this series?
Best show i've seen this year so far
Absolutely loving this show. So, so, so good. The cast is fantastic. And Mick Jagger doing the soundtrack - wow!
Yes, Strange Game works so perfectly with the ambiance of the story :)
10:15 when she looks directly at the camera because she realises that together they both dropped a rather large spoiler :D
Thanks for the heads up. 🤓
Jack loves his Idol-- Gary's vibing on Jack's brilliance tooo 🌟 🌟 THESE 2 ARE SO AWESOME!!! 💘#beautifulbromance #endlesslyfunnny
I just binged watched Season I and 2 and jumped for joy when I learned there will be a 2 and 3. So I then binged I and 2 again.

I’m enamored with this show. Superb! Plus I’m in total love with Gary. His facility as an actor…..top of his generation. ❤
I appreciate these edited interviews where we don't have to suffer through the interviewer trying to get attention
One of the best series in a long while.
The only reason to have Apple TV.
I will resume my membership when series 4 is released
Brilliant show. Gary Oldman is the greatest actor of his generation by a country mile.
I love these actors playing these characters - brilliant! We can’t lose SID for good!,she did get shot in the head - but they wrote it so she was untraceable - no funeral etc…. I really hope they bring her back in this next season - she & Jack are perfect together.

Gary is so adorable every time he laughs.
❤
2020 Best show so far…Mic Herron’s books, every single one super good.
I’m hoping for a 10 season run … same cast please !
One can almost smell him, which is of course, exactly what he wants. Hides the keen mind behind the exterior. Brilliant. He's also great as an evil cop.
This show is so good. I cannot wait for season 2.
My new favorite show, looking forward to Season 3 of Jackson Lamb and his Slow Horses.
It’s an amazing series ,great acting ,really good writing very interesting subjects no a dull moment on it ,love Gary Oldman and the handsome Jack Lowden !
Ich auch
My husband and I love this show! Can’t wait for season 3!
One of the best series on TV, excellently shot as well. Most enjoyable
Gary old man is such an amazing actor,from verger to Dracula.Truly brilliant...
Fantastic show and performances.
Gary Oldman has the most beautiful hands. Not that the rest of him is not perfect but his hands are gorgeous
Yeah, absolutely. This is my own observation too!!! He's got beautiful hands
I noticed this too!
Whaaat? Imma get a close look
OMG!! I'VE SAID THAT VERY THING!! His hands have a sensuality that I've NEVER noticed on ANY man. I find myself watching their movements in his films. They are maculine, delicate, sensual and oh so sexy to me and seem to have their OWN script. I would love to caress them......kiss them. BEAUTIFUL man, BEAUTIFUL hands.
Und die Augen nicht vergessen.
Phenomenal show, 10/10 across the board.
All of you are brilliant indidually and as an ensemble

One of the best things Ive seen in a long time all the Charakters are Spot on 🥰
Brilliant series, brilliant actors!
Brilliant show.
‘I hope that doesn’t go into the groundwater.’ 😂
Brilliant show
Such a great series!
Dracula , Leon and many other roles he brings something very special to a role and l imagine if you work with him you’d learn loads he is an actor who seems to pick his work carefully? This is a great show probably the best show on TV shame it’s stuck on Apple !
Jack, the next Bond. M.
We thought so too at first..really loving his acting but he is really intrinsically too funny and such a warm person to be Bond..but hope he proves us wrong
Yes!!!! Jack for Bond!
I just discovered this marvelous falderal last week! 🤯 Love it. I CARE about all these characters, that’s the difference (whereas I care for only a couple in James Bond). Am listening to Slough House, we call it “sluff” in America, like sluffing off dead skin. 😂 The slow horses are the dead skin.

10:15 Oh dear
Great cast and a really great show!
I just finidhed 3 seasons in a few days of watching. Can't wait for ss4. When is it? Please quick!😅
Ich auch❤
Both lovely men.
I had no idea that Jack has a different accent in real life
Done a DECADE AGO?!? And we're just now getting into it! Sept. 2024!!!
haven't seen it but heard it was good
Jack would make a great James Bond!
Scottish???????????????? Wasn’t ready for that!!!
This interview is WONDERFUL! Most interviews are cringeworthy - no chemistry between interviewer and interviewee. This style provides the questions, but no personality. The chemistry comes from the actors' comraderie. Highly recommend. :)
Every character has its own merit but Jackson lamb takes to the flowers , for real.😊
Scots do get one with their English brothers🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Jack. Scottish. Who knew?
JACK IS SCOTISH, ISNT HE ??
2nd season better than the 1st. They got rid of that dreary look and brightened up the photography. Better story too.
