I am watching 'Slow Horses' and it's much better than the books (although I only read one: good plot, average writing). The TV producers have done an amazing job with casting and the writing is sharp. Kristin Scott Thomas and Gary Oldman are masterful.
I’ve been watching Slough House and love it. Maybe it goes right along with your comments about imperfection. These people who have been shuttled aside because they were imperfect at their job are actually very good at some things but fall short on others. It makes them real characters instead of idealizations. I’ve always preferred quirky characters to perfect James Bond types anyway.

Yes the cast is amazing!

That's a good point!
