Just go in with zero expectations
Fairytale of New YorkWritten by Jem Finer, Shane MacGowanPerformed by The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl. Comparing it to Slow Horses isn't quite fair because that show is amazing. I just binge watched it for fun because I like Ben Whishaw.
Yes it's over-the-top implausible and plot holes abound
My DH said it was cringy and said he couldn't get past comparing it to Slow Horses. Since season 5 of Slow Horses won't be out for months, this is a decent substitute. The trick is not to overthink it and have your popcorn ready.
He was definitely underwhelmed (lol)
I liked the chemistry between Knightley and Whishaw.and that was enough to keep me interested. If DH rated it, he'd give the show a 3 rating. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
