Overview

Slow Horses is a 2022 spy thriller television series created by Will Smith for Apple TV+, based on the Slough House series of novels by Mick Herron. The first season follows a team of British intelligence agents who have been relegated to Slough House, a dumping ground for MI5 agents who have made mistakes. They are the "slow horses," the rejects, the failures. The leader of Slough House is Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), a brilliant, cynical, and disgusting man. The first season is a tense, witty, and often darkly funny spy thriller. It was a critical and commercial success. The show is a must-see for fans of spy thrillers and for anyone who loves a good, character-driven drama. The show is known for its brilliant performances, especially Gary Oldman as Lamb. A second season was released in 2022, and a third season in 2023. A fourth season has been announced.
