5/5

Based on Joe Country and Slough House, the sixth and seventh in Mick Herron’s book series, it is a clever adaptation that produces a crisp, clean story, weaving heart-stopping action.

3/5

The show is beautifully shot, the action sequences well choreographed, and the tension executed with aplomb. It might not be much interested in reinvention or evolution, but this is prestige entertainment at its absolute sturdiest.

3/5

Slow Horses is still slick and confident enough, and it helps itself by casting Lenny Rush, an actor who immediately improves anything he’s in, as a civilian caught in this year’s crossfire. But it might have run its course.

5/5

This season may be the most heartbreaking, but it’s also aiming to be the most exciting, mixing danger and death with subversion and betrayal. The writing is smart with quick dialog and intense scenarios, culminating in breathtaking sequences.
