Slow Horses is a British thriller series which aired on Apple TV+. The series premiered on April 1, 2022.

Slough House is a dumping ground for members of the intelligence service who've screwed up: left a service file on a train, say, blown a surveillance, or become drunkenly unreliable. They're the service's poor relations, the slow horses and most bitter among them is River Cartwright, whose days are spent transcribing mobile phone conversations. But when a young man is abducted, and his kidnappers threaten to behead him live on the internet, River sees an opportunity to redeem himself. But is the victim who he first appears to be. And what's the kidnappers' connection with a disgraced journalist. As the clock ticks on the execution, River finds that everyone involved has their own agenda.

Since Spooks (2002) I haven't seen such a good MI5 series. Exciting, dry English humor, actors that appeal to me and who also deliver great acting.
I'm enjoying myself.

Season 5 feels like Slow Horses with a little more courage, a little more humanity, and a little more fun. Not every risk works out perfectly, but that's precisely what makes it so exciting to keep watching. Despite those minor hiccups, the series continues to captivate me with immense pleasure; it has that unique charm that draws me in again and again. On to the next season!

Slow Horses feels like a fresh, unconventional take on the espionage genre. It's not about slick super-spies, but rather about the discarded MI5 agents who've ruined their careers, and that makes for surprisingly good television. Gary Oldman is brilliant as Jackson Lamb: coarse, lazy-looking, but secretly razor-sharp. His sarcastic humor gives the series a wonderful bite.

What truly makes Slow Horses so strong for me is the combination of dry British humor and serious suspense. The plots are cleverly constructed, without overblown blockbuster nonsense, and the characters grow on you with each season. The pace is fast, the dialogue is sharp, and you constantly sense that something or someone is about to go off the rails.

It's not a show that relies on big explosions, but on clever plotting and character development. That's precisely what keeps it captivating; each episode feels like a glimpse into the chaotic, dark backroom of the Secret Service.
