TheLeon Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Really enjoyed this season overall, I’m glad another one is coming soon. Adapting a series of books like this makes sense to me. 6 or so episodes per book, two of those a year. It would be great if they could keep that up for a few years. Question about the end, because I’m dumb Spoiler So we learn that Lamb killed Standish’s old boss, and Cartwright’s gramps was involved too. Are we supposed to know what that was about at this point? Or is that just showing us part of Lamb’s dark past and how he landed at Slough House? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly doesn't break new ground creatively, but it executes that well-trod ground absolute flawlessly! And the six episode format keeps things moving along nicely with little-to-no narrative fat to bog things down unnecessarily. By the looks of things, we won't have to wait all that long for the third season either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moa Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 "Just" started watching this and now I can't stop. Finished episode 5 and I'm impressed just how much they're able to pack into each episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moa Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Finishing this now. I never got too deep into spy stuff but now I have an itch to scratch. Other than The Americans, which I’ve seen and is fantastic, are there any other good spy dramas anyone would recommend? I especially enjoy that this and The Americans are more grounded and less action oriented than most spy movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of slow burn, intricate spy thrillers out there. I'd also recommend The Courier (2021) and A Most Wanted Man (Philip Seymour Hoffman). There are a lot more, does the age of the movie matter to you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 ‘Slow Horses’ Renewed For Season 5 By Apple TV+ DEADLINE.COM Apple TV+ is returning once again to Slow Horses, with a fifth season greenlit, the first major renewal of 2024. Quote Apple TV+ is returning once again to Slow Horses, with a fifth season greenlit, the first major renewal of 2024. The Gary Oldman-starring adaptation of Mick Herron’s novels has proved a hit for the streamer, having aired its first season just 18 months ago and yet already moved to a fifth. It was handed a double series recommission for Seasons 3 and 4 in June 2022 and the third dropped last week. The fifth outing of Slow Horses will be adapted from Herron’s Spook Street. Everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung) has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected.

TwinIon Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I'm curious how it is that this show is able to push out new seasons so quickly. I suppose being adapted is helpful, but still, it's an impressive speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
