Slow Horses

“It is glorious fun, a taut, twisty and enjoyable thriller laced with so many funny moments. Gary Oldman continues to be mesmerising to watch, even when hoofing down a fried breakfast or letting rip one of his trademark bottom whispers.”
Ben Dowell, The Times

“The first episode of the new series suggests we’re in for another darkly comic thrill ride as good as any of the previous outings.”
Neil Armstrong, The i

“The performances remain superb, the script is as sharp as they come, and the comedy/action balance is handled beautifully.”
Chris Bennion, The Independent

“Slow Horses is unusual: a long-running show that hasn’t had a drop-off in quality. There is a supreme sense of confidence about the way it is put together. Let’s hope they can keep it up.”
Anita Singh, The Telegraph

“Season five isn’t really about white nationalists, or environmental activists, or hostile foreign actors, and yet it is also about all of those things, all at once. As a result, it is overstuffed and strangely lacking in substance. Worse still, people-pleasing agent River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) has undergone a personality bypass, and spends much of the series acting in a way that can only be described as unnervingly dickish.”
