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.

The first episode made me doubt whether I should continue watching, but I'm so glad I did! A truly top series.

I've only seen the first episode so far and don't really feel like watching further. I didn't find it particularly exciting, fun or good. I'm still in doubt, because of all the hurray reactions here, but I still have plenty to watch that I'm sure I still want to see...

This series takes a while to get through. Just like Faemke says. But you're right, there are so many other series to watch that you just click with. In any case, I was glad I kept watching. ;)
