Why you have to watch Slow Horses, the spy thriller starring Gary Oldman

If you are looking for a new show to binge-watch, look no further than Slow Horses, the spy thriller based on the novels by Mick Herron. The series follows a group of disgraced MI5 agents who are banished to Slough House, a dumping ground for the failures of the intelligence service. There, they are led by Jackson Lamb, a rude, slovenly, and brilliant spymaster played by Gary Oldman.

Slow Horses is not your typical spy drama. It is gritty, dark, and full of twists and turns. It also has a lot of humor, thanks to the witty dialogue and the quirky characters. The show explores the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption, as the slow horses try to prove themselves in a world of espionage and politics.

The cast is superb, with Gary Oldman delivering a masterful performance as Lamb, who is both ruthless and protective of his team. Kristin Scott Thomas plays Diana Taverner, the ambitious and ruthless deputy director of MI5, who is Lamb’s nemesis. The slow horses are played by a talented ensemble of actors, including Jack Lowden, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, and Kadiff Kirwan.
