Rudy C Still one of the best series on any streaming platform, but the shortened season (only six episodes) feels like it left a lot of plot and character development on the cutting room floor. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/25/25 Full Review Avindu G Premise has the surprising element that rips through a quite morning light. This gives weight to the slough house's work round the clock. There's pieces to be picked up from the previous season but the story catches up well. Great work by the cast. And the Lamb's annoying annoyance would be heartbreakingly justified. Great audio and video effects. There were few awkward moments unlike never before that break character traits such as River's. And it's a shame how the story points at usual villains while MI5 watches a terrorist flee on foot. However sixth season seems grander and a room to improve.

Six episodes was just the right number. Love the final shot of Lamb’s foot. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review Susan S. Season 5 doesn’t disappoint. Five stars aren’t enough. Going to read the book series until Season 6 arrives. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review Marcia P I was disappointed in Season 5. All previous seasons a 5, brilliant, hilarious, moving and great characters, plots, performance! True surprises. But this latest one: Jackson Lamb is almost missing, fewer and fewer appearances and even then it's as if he's sick and tired of them, it, all. As if he's bowing out or slipping away as a character, or actor. The plot, the writing, frankly, was boring and I just didn't believe it - those five, six, Libyan kids, seemed amateurish, disorganized, careless, and escape repeatedly from the wizards of Slough House: it all depends on a few chance observations, out of lack of anything else to do, from Shirley, etc. And the boy star, he's become a bumbling idiot, dumby. I like that Shirley, especially Katherine, and Co are given more development. And MI6 really boring and lame, repetitive stuff; the First Desk is absolutely unbelievable and doesn't contribute any interest. All that time with Second Desk and Lyfe (?) and what's-his-name (clueless tracking/hacking wizard), is super tedious, and HE's the smart one!? Just poor writing, sloppy and dull.
