Slow Horses

2022
8.0

What happens when you gather a handful of disgraced spies, banished to a dead-end department for their career-ending mistakes? This is the world of the Slow Horses, the brilliant misfits of Slough House. Based on Mick Herron’s novels, this 2022 British spy thriller series follows Jackson Lamb, a brilliant but slovenly spymaster, as he oversees these forgotten agents. Their mundane paperwork is a punishment, but they can’t help stumbling into major conspiracies that threaten London. The show masterfully blends espionage with sharp wit and character-driven drama. Viewers should watch Slow Horses for its impeccable tone, balancing gritty tension with laugh-out-loud cynicism. Gary Oldman’s portrayal of Lamb is a masterclass in anti-hero charm. The series subverts the glamorous spy genre, focusing on the messy, unglamorous side of intelligence work where failures are more interesting than successes. It’s a smart, addictively paced thriller that proves even the rejects can save the day, often in the most chaotic ways possible.
