James Jackson The Times (UK) ... Despite the whole thing being an "anti-spy" thriller, this isn't Le Carré — it's a whole lot funnier. Rated: 5/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times Slow Horses” remains one of the most entertaining and well-put-together shows around. The motions through which it goes are good ones. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Camilla Long The Times (UK) It’s still utterly brilliant. Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Marta Medina mundoCine It retains the dark humour that has defined the series from the start, as well as the espionage-thriller thread, nailing that ‘strange game’ between spies referenced in Mick Jagger’s memorable and catchy main theme. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Ayaan Paul Chowdhury The Hindu And yet, in all its downtrodden glory, Slow Horses remains a thing of beauty. It’s hard to look away from a series that feels so lived-in, so utterly convinced of its own grimy brilliance. Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Ana Yorke PopMatters With another hugely satisfying yet curiously gut-wrenching batch of episodes, this anti-spy satire bares teeth and transforms into a uniquely thoughtful and well-rounded beast in a sea of boilerplate drama thrillers.

J W. Season 4 hits full flight with razor-sharp writing, a gutsy performance by Gary Oldman, and a surprising emotional core beneath the spy chaos. Brilliantly executed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/25 Full Review Reinaldo H Best season so far for me, 10/10 The only problem is that it left the bar extremely high for next seasons... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/25 Full Review I F I liked first 2 season because it was smart. Season 3 and 4 are full of typical clichés.....so what's the point of a spy thrillers that totally predictable and cliché? So disappointing....😢 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Ralph C this is a very well done season , one negative is how they ended the season with the main villan seems like a cheat so they can have him return in future and didn't keep up with the high standard the show has so far Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review Johnny E I love the grimy feel to this show. How it plays out in a contrast to upscale backdrop to MI6 offices. So much fun to watch and see what I imagine the espionage world to be like. It’s almost like if Mr. Bean showed up to partner with James Bond but with high level story lines and a fun lineup of characters. This show caught me by surprise and it’s fun and intriguing dialogue keeps me locked in. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Diane M I absolutely love this show. The characters are deep and the storylines are even deeper. I look forward to every season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
