Plot

EnglishFollow a team of British intelligence agents who are used as a dumping ground for MI5 due to their career-ending mistakes. In the back of the credits under “Camera Trainees” is Alfie Oldman, Gary Oldman’s son.

Starring in Graham Norton and the Fans: Kristin Scott Thomas/George Takei/Claudia Winkleman/Jamie Oliver/First Aid Kit (2022)

Gary Oldman has already proven himself a master of the political and spy thriller subgenres, with his powerful performance in the Oscar-winning “The Darkest Hour (2017)” and the more understated but equally effective “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011).” He’s done a great job of portraying gravitas, charisma, calm under pressure and unwavering efficiency on screen, but Apple TV+’s new offering presents a completely different side of the British veteran, laced with dry British wit and wry humour without ever abandoning the spy thrill elements. We follow the story of MI5 agent ‘Jackson Lamb’ (Oldman) who leads a sub-group within the intelligence agency nicknamed the ‘Slow Horses’ because it’s made up mostly of disgraced has-beens and underachievers that no one else seems to want.

Lamb seems perfectly happy running routine operations and surveillance missions when his team inadvertently gets involved in the kidnapping of a young Muslim man, presumably executed by far-right fundamentalists

Starring Jonathan Pryce, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Saskia Reeves, Jack Lowden and a host of fine British actors, Slow Horses takes care to paint vivid character sketches of its motley crew of wayward agents, all with a point to prove given their sordid pasts. Director James Hawes builds his narrative slowly but surely across six wholesome episodes, which are full of unexpected twists and turns as the stakes gradually rise and the conspiracy becomes more convoluted as the team pursues one lead after another.

Apple TV+ has another winner on its hands, with “Slow Horses,” alongside “Severance” which clearly emerges as one of the best new series of 2022

Oldman is in blistering form as the caustic, trash-talking spymaster who seems to use mockery and disdain as weapons to get his team going, and the supporting cast do an effective job of counterbalancing the old master, creating a vivid world that intrigues and makes you laugh at the most unexpected moments. The screenwriters Morwenna Banks; Will Smith; Jonny Stockwood; Mark Denton deserve special praise for finding the right balance between character development, suspense, unexpected twists and humor.

Highly recommended and I can’t wait for season 2!
