Celluloid editorial verdict
What is Slow Horses about?
MI5's rejects are exiled to Slough House under the flatulent, brilliant and magnificently unpleasant Jackson Lamb, where they are meant to rot — except the discarded spies keep stumbling into live operations the service would rather bury.

Critic Reviews
Slow Horses Review: Spycraft for the Age of Managed Decline
★★★★½
Slow Horses reinvents the British spy drama from the bottom of the org chart — a service run on grudges and budget cuts, seen from the desk of its failures — with Gary Oldman's flatulent, brilliant Jackson Lamb as the great TV creation of the decade.
The best spy series on television — fast, funny, superbly acted and quietly furious about institutional Britain. Unmissable.
