This is a show about ...
US congress getting blown up and a much more low level member has to take over the role as President.It does completely lose its steam after the first season and I don't think i'd watch it again because it's pretty preachy but it's an interesting enough concept
This is a show about neglected, under-performing agents of british intelligence, who are exiled to Slough House and nicknamed Slow Horses, but ...
under the guidance of a hard-ass boss they time and time again manage to out-perform their colleagues at MI5.(Or watch both via other means)
I find it interesting that the wikipedia artickes cites Apollo 13 and not The Martian. The Martian is like the most popular example of competency porn isn't it?
God, I love The Martian. Istg I could quote it line by line.
I love Slow Horses. Gary oldman is so fucked up in that.
Very fucked up, and yet he is also the most competent person in the agency!
