Good opening as River (Jack Lowden) has his head blown off by clearly disoriented grandfather Jonathan Pryce, then finds himself recklessly in danger in a rather run down part of northern France.
New additions: Joanna Scanlan, Ruth Bradley and James Callis as the truly useless new First Desk or whatever it's called. Plus Tom Brooke as the new Slow Horse (or whatever, 'Joe'?)
They're very bingeable. A variety of writers and directors. Though elements with seemingly indestructible assassin seem unbelievable, as does whole psycho making women pregnant and bringing up their children as army thing, and River's parentage. Still very watchable though and the final moment where River and Lamb meet up after the latter had left his grandfather in a care home is the closest to bonding they may get. Good humour also in final shoot out e.g. the key's stuck, I've dropped the cartridges etc.
