This is a recreation of a fictional computer program from the excellent Apple TV show - Severance.

The work is mysterious, and important.

Season 2 is going now. It’s one of my top 3 shows of the last decade, highly recommend it.

What are your other 2?

Severance could well get into my top 3, but currently I think mine would be: Mr. Robot, Breaking Bad and Wednesday.

Slow Horses (also on Apple TV+) is currently my favorite - Gary Oldman is crushing it. Severance is my second favorite of the last decade.

Slow Horses is great... until there are action sequences.

At which point it does that British television thing where action just isn't.

But given there isn't a ton of actual action in it, the bulk of the show holds up.

It's great at building tension but the actual action is pretty underwhelming, as you say.

But it's quirky, because there are some great action shots too. E.g. Jackson Lamb. But those tend to be tighter, usually interior shots.

So maybe they should avoid the grand exterior action sequences.
