Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe It’s complicated, but it’s worth it in the end, just like Lamb’s crime-solving methods. Dec 12, 2022 Full Review Jack Seale Guardian Every scene has a finesse of quality or invention. Rated: 4/5 Dec 9, 2022 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal The season has a determinedly cinematic quality that elevates it beyond most spy series, as does the first-rate writing... It straddles genres deftly, perhaps creating its own in the process. Dec 7, 2022 Full Review Jeff York The Establishing Shot The Apple TV+ series is notable as well for its constant ability to zag where most others would merely zig. It’s compelling, tense drama – – expert at pulling rugs and raising heart rates. Rated: 4/4 Jan 25, 2023 Full Review Ana Yorke PopMatters Slow Horses has tightly-woven mystery, and institutional scheming. It has Jack Lowden, Olivia Cooke, Jonathan Pryce, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Gary Oldman. Dec 27, 2022 Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator Like all those classic BBC Le Carré adaptations, it’s a superb piece of ensemble acting. Gary Oldman is at the top of his game as Jackson Lamb, the grotesque but weirdly adorable station chief at Slough House. Dec 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jennifer M Second season even got more crazy, I like that they add more characters to the story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Rhyan D I'm late to the Slow Horses game... but man, what a fantastic show! The first series was incredible, but I think this was even better. Gary Oldman is perfect, as usual, and Jack Lowden steals every scene he's in. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Jon A Of course it well acted, entertaining and suspenseful! At it's heart is people who by have been knocked down and are fight their way back. They gain their confidence and self worth. Very human and relatable show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Spike D Still tense and enjoyable, but the clichéd Cold War paranoia over vodka-swilling sleeper agents reduces the series' promise as an innovative entry to the espionage genre. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Ben W - There's this book, in the youth hostel... that you will wind up reading... and. Even though I have read the Da Vinci Code, and Captain Corelli's Mandolin, with some pleasure... A bit like fast food, you are aware that it does you no good. That's basically what I'd say about this. Seen Seasons 1, 2, half of 3. - Imagine 'have I got news for you', but with guns/ or ... Jack Lowden is running, absolutely pegging it.... When you saw Hot Fuzz, did you feel it lacked, Nick Frost headbutting Simon in the nose? -Empty experience/ these things happen. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Willie C The second season of "Slow Horses" takes the intrigue to new heights, showcasing even sharper writing and deeper character exploration. Gary Oldman shines brighter than ever as the gruff yet lovable Jackson Lamb, and the ensemble cast delivers fantastic performances that elevate the stakes. With its clever twists and a perfect blend of tension and dark humor, this season keeps you hooked from start to finish. A brilliant continuation that cements "Slow Horses" as a must-see in the spy genre! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
