Slow Horses Incompetence Index: Cry Me a River
Cartwright Jr. is a sweet boy. I have no clue how he has survived three-plus seasons of this show.
Coe(too soon to tell exactly what his deal is beyond the silence and finger tapping, which came to an abrupt end near the end of the episode in a way that feels notable); Emma Flyte(she needs more responsibility before I can tell how competent she is); Moira the Office Manager(I like that the thing that broke Jackson and sent him on a mission to restore her good name in the hopes of getting rid of her was her attempt to tidy up his office); Giti Rahman(smiling people who take curious and potentially damaging information to Diana do not last very long on this show); me(I suspect there will come a day when I remember that characters addressing Diana are saying “ma’am” in a British accent and not calling her “mom,” but it appears today is not that day); David Cartwright(his issues have more to do with age-related mental decline than incompetence, but I still think he’s up to something); various French baristas who know kind of a lot about the local geography(not to be trusted) But even knowing all that, it’s wild to watch Marcus sit there and try to justify how he ended up $10,000 in debt despite the whole “betting paper clips on how long colleagues can withstand waterboarding as a time-killing form of office-related methadone” thing we saw in the season premiere. I did not ever envision a situation where I would have someone ranked above River while making this list but then this goofball went and got himself tangled up in a conspiracy by blindly signing his name to a whole stack of papers that were placed under his nose by the same woman who quite literally just orchestrated a complicated and bloody coup to oust his predecessor.
