Review - Slow Horses on Apple TV+

Tuesday, September 5, 2023 1:33

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

If you haven’t seen Slow Horses, an amazing series from Apple TV+ based on the Slough House series by Mick Herron, you’re in for a treat.

One of my readers told me about the series, and it’s everything he told me he would be.

Naturally, when we found Slow Horses on Apple TV+, we were interested and hoping it would be as good as the books. With Gary Oldman headlining the cast, that was a good bet. We binge-watched the first 2 seasons a month ago. Now, we’re eagerly waiting for season 3.

The title of the TV series comes from the first book of the series, Slow Horses, which is a play on the name Slough House. Their department and the spies who screw up and end up there are called Slow Horses. They’re denigrated by one and all in the British intelligence community.

Slow Horses, a television spy thriller, premiered on Apple TV+ April 1, 2022. Season 2 was Dead Lions on December 2, 2022. The series was immediately renewed for a third and fourth seasons.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

Slough House is where MI5 screw-ups go to live out the rest of their careers. In return they don’t get fired, they just end up in purgatory and are ridiculed as slow horses.

They get the boring paper-pushing jobs with a hefty serviing of insults from their peers and vocal abuse from Jackson Lamb, their equally miserable boss.

Lamb, compellingly portrayed by Gary Oldman, expects them to quit because boredom and frustration are daily reminders of their dead end careers. However, somehow the agents of Slough House get involved investigating plots that endanger the UK.

These dysfunctional MI5 agents and Lamb, their boss who was once among the best, manage to survive the crosses, doublecrosses, and subterfuge of the espionage world where nothing is what it appears to be on the surface and still ably defend their country from those who would destroy it.

REMARKABLE CAST

In addition to Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb, the other cast members are spot on in their portrayals of slow horses.

River Cartwright is played by Jack Lowden.

Diana Taverner is played by Kristin Scott Thomas.

Catherine Standish is played by Saskia Reeves.

David Cartwright is played by Jonathan Pryce.
Roddy Ho is played by Christopher Chung.
Louisa Guy is played by Rosalind Eleazar.
Shirley Dander is played by Aimee-Ffion Edwards.
Marcus Longridge is played by Kadiff Kirwan.
Peter Judd MP is played by Samuel West.

With plenty of twists, turns, and surprises, Slow Horses is intelligent, moody, and occasionally shocking in its portrayal of the intelligence community. Truth or total fabrication? I’ve been told by someone “in the know” that its too close to the truth for comfort.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH

Read the books, watch the series, and judge for yourself.
