Slow Horses returns for its Fifth Season on Apple TV+. The six episodes–one episode dropped each Wednesday–are based on Mick Herron’s London Rules (2018).
Someone is trying to assassinate one of the Slow Horses, but no one knows why. Who would want to murder a failed spy? Jackson Lamb (played brilliantly by Gary Oldman), the head of Slough House, initially rejects the idea anyone would be gunning for one of his rejected agents of MI5. But Lamb is nothing but loyal to his crew so he gets involved.
Like the previous four seasons, Slow Horses presents a plot that seems inexplicable, but then unravels in surprising ways. Must See TV! GRADE: Incomplete, but trending towards an A
London Rules: GRADE: A
Some day, but no Apple +.
Jeff, you and Jackie would love SLOW HORSES.
Larry has more channels than I do and we watched one episode of this. It was a current episode, so we were a bit out of the loop. It did make me want to start at the beginning.
I have one of the books on Mount TBR.
Maggie, I strongly suggest you start SLOW HORSES with Season One and watch them in order. Some of the storylines creep into the following season. I’m a big fan of Mick Herron’s books!
Looks like a good season.
Patti, I found LONDON RULES a compelling novel so this season of SLOW HORSES should be intense!
