Slow Horses delves into divisive issues, set to push boundaries in season 4 with character Peter Judd's controversial connections. Political themes intertwined with complex character relationships make Slow Horses a topical and resonant thriller series. Judd's alliance with Taverner raises uncomfortable questions, suggesting a dark side to British Intelligence on Slow Horses.

After stories involving Russian oligarchs and illegal British overseas operations, Slow Horses has already proved that it's unafraid to address divisive real-world issues, yet one key character could mean that in the current climate season 4 becomes the show's most controversial yet. Any spy thriller with a political inclination has the potential to upset viewers. However, while most storylines exist in the abstract, recent events mean that Slow Horses season 4 will be more resonant and provocative than ever.

While Slow Horses' primary focus has always been the relationships between its core characters and telling a gripping main story, the...

Warning: contains Major Spoilers for series three of Slow Horses

Was series three the best yet for Apple TV’s spy thriller Slow Horses? It was certainly the series with by far the most action, the highest kill count, and the biggest secrets. So… yes, actually.

But while usually Slow Horses is MI5 vs The Bad Guys, this time “the call was coming from inside the house”, and warring factions from within the service were hunting down their own, betraying and back-stabbing all over the shop.

If you’re looking for a guide to what actually happened to make sure you didn’t miss anything, here’s all your Slow Horses series three questions answered:

What Secret Was Donovan’s Girlfriend Alison Trying to Expose?

While working at the embassy in Istanbul, service agent Alison discovered that MI5 boss Ingrid Tierney had signed off on testing a new device that would wirelessly hack computers,...

Slow Horses is finally back with a whole new season filled with espionage, institutional failure, corruption, dark jokes, and deadly farts. The Apple TV+ series recently came out with its much anticipated third season and once again it revolves around the MI5 failures who are occupying Slough House. In the new season, we see a member of the Slow Horses getting kidnapped and how the rest of the team fights with everything they have to get them back.

As always Slow Horses isn’t your typical spy thriller because its characters and stories are as far from James Bond as they could be, and in my opinion, that’s what made Slow Horses one of the best espionage thriller ever made.

Warning: contains spoilers for Slow Horses series one and two.

If Slow Horses aired on BBC One on Sunday nights instead of streaming on Apple TV+, it would be all anybody was talking about. Based on Mick Herron’s series of novels, it stars Oscar winner Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour) as the world-weary and straight-talking Jackson Lamb, a former MI5 agent who is now living out his days at the head of Slough House, the office building to which disgraced spies (known as “slow horses”) are exiled to do menial grunt work after messing up big time in the field.

As we saw in series one and two, Slough House is frequently the playground for MI5’s Second Desk Diana Taverner, who likes to get them involved in her dirty off-the-books ops and then blame them when it all inevitably goes wrong. And one of the more recent slow horse arrivals,...

CinemaBlind’s Review – 100%

Slow Horses is back with its much-awaited third season, and I am happy to say that it is even better than what came before. The Gary Oldman dark comedy-drama has to be one of the best TV shows in the entire world, but sadly it is still not getting the attention it deserves.

Based on the third novel of the Slough House book series titled Real Tigers by Mick Herron, the new season starts in Istanbul with Alison Dunn (Katherine Waterston), an MI5 agent, and Sean Donovan (Sope Dirisu), head of security. The relationship between these two sets up the events for the upcoming episodes and while we don’t see the Slow Horses in the opening scene, they get caught up in this new mess pretty soon.

When it comes to the Slow Horses, not much has changed. River (Jack Lowden) still resents everything about his job,...

Apple TV+ has unveiled the trailer for the third season of its critically acclaimed spy thriller series “Slow Horses”, based on the novels by Mick Herron. The show follows a team of disgraced MI5 agents who work at Slough House, a dumping ground for the intelligence service’s failures. Led by the rude and cunning Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), the “slow horses” often find themselves involved in dangerous missions that put them at odds with their superiors and enemies.

The trailer teases the return of some familiar faces, such as River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas), Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves), Louisa Guy (Rosalind Eleazar), and Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung), as well as some new additions, such as Shirley Dander (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) and Marcus Longridge (Kadiff Kirwan). The third season will adapt the fourth book in the series, “Spook Street”, which revolves around a terrorist attack in London...

Apple TV+ has shared a first look at “Slow Horses” Season 3, which will premiere on the streamer on Dec. 1.

Gary Oldman returns as jaded ex-MI5 agent Jackson Lamb, who runs Slough House — nicknamed “Slow Horses” — the place where disgraced agents bide their time while trying to get back into the big leagues.

The third season, based on “Real Tigers,” the third book in the series by author Mick Herron, concerns a romantic liaison in Istanbul that threatens to expose a buried MI5 secret in London. Naturally, Lamb and his team of misfits are dragged into the case, and, per Apple TV+, “they find themselves caught in a conspiracy that threatens the future not just of Slough House but of MI5 itself.”

In this exclusive clip from the next episode of Apple TV+’s “Slow Horses,” sidelined British spy River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) must think fast when he spots one of Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas)’s “Dogs” coming for him at the hospital.

He may be stuck at Slough House with the rest of the MI5 screwups, but he proves he can be as resourceful as any field agent when it comes down to it.

The showdown comes after the horrific events of episode three, in which Slough House head Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) realizes he and his team of misfits will be left holding a very bloody bag.

The fourth episode, titled “Visiting Hours,” debuts on Apple TV+ on Friday, April 15.

The ensemble cast includes Olivia Cooke, Saskia Reeves, Dustin Demri-Burns, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Paul Higgins, Freddie Fox, Chris Reilly, Steve Waddington, Paul Hilton, Antonio Aakeel, Peter Judd, and...

Gary Oldman is a cranky MI5 agent saddled with “absolute losers” in the first trailer for spy series “Slow Horses,” which Apple TV+ released on Wednesday.

The six-episode series is based on Mick Herron’s first novel in the “Slow Horses” series, with the first two episodes debuting globally on April 1, followed by one episode every Friday.

Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but bitter veteran spy who ends up at the “Slough House,” a department of MI5, where agents who’ve made career-ending mistakes are relegated. It’s a dead-end where no interesting cases ever arise, until Jack Lowden’s still ambitious agent sees an opportunity to get back in the game.

Oldman takes a bit of pride in the group he oversees, telling Kristin Scott Thomas, “They’re a bunch of absolute losers. But they’re my losers.”

The ensemble cast includes Olivia Cooke, Saskia Reeves, Dustin Demri-Burns,...
