5/5
... Despite the whole thing being an "anti-spy" thriller, this isn't Le Carré — it's a whole lot funnier. Go to Full Review
Mike Hale New York Times 09/16/2024
Slow Horses” remains one of the most entertaining and well-put-together shows around. The motions through which it goes are good ones. Go to Full Review

It’s still utterly brilliant. Go to Full Review

4/5
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] Go to Full Review
Ayaan Paul Chowdhury The Hindu 12/20/2024
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. Go to Full Review
Ana Yorke PopMatters 11/30/2024
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. Go to Full Review

Kurt K. @Kurtosaurus Jan 29 One of the best seasons! See more m G. @mgoff62 Jan 15 love this and jackson lamb!! See more Julian P @JulianPoulter Dec 12 Not as good as the previous 3 series and it really feels like Jack Lowden's character needs to start becoming stronger but he didnt. Still very good but a few characters are starting to caricature. See more S L Nov 11 Ugh, I was enjoying Slow Horses until this BS season 4 of the “invincible assassin.” What a load of horseshit. Run over a man with a taxi and in 5 seconds he’s mysteriously gone. NFW. Not realistic. Vomit 🤮 it’s so beyond reality. Being pursued by said assassin? Sure, stick your face near a window where you can get poked in the face with steel pole and drop your weapon before you can use it. Shoot super assassin and beat him and pour scalding water on him and hit him with a knife but still he outshoots you and keeps coming back. I guess the f’er is on pcp. Then the bad guy leader blackmails his way out of jail. Ridiculous writing. I don’t know if I can move onto the next season after this crappy writing See more J W. @heyitsme Nov 2 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. See more Reinaldo H Oct 29 Best season so far for me, 10/10 The only problem is that it left the bar extremely high for next seasons... See more Read all reviews
