Every Season Of Gripping Thriller Fans Are Hooked On Has Earned 100% On Rotten Tomatoes
Fans are hooked on a gripping thriller series that has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
If you enjoyed the thrilling scenes of Severance, there’s a new drama that’s gaining a lot of attention.
One fan says: “This show is a masterpiece of espionage drama! Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb is gruff, cynical, yet weirdly endearing, and the twists kept me guessing the whole time.”
Another agrees: “The cast is phenomenal—Kristin Scott Thomas is so elegant as Diana Taverner, and Jack Lowden nails River Cartwright’s mix of idealism and frustration.”
A third fan notes: “The dark humor is my favorite part. Lamb roasting his team is both brutal and hilarious – it’s like workplace dysfunction, but make it MI5.”
Someone else adds: “The gritty London setting and moody soundtrack pull you right into this shadowy, high-stakes world. It feels so real.”
Another fan concludes: “I thought spy shows were getting stale, but this one is such a refreshing blend of wit, tension, and raw humanity. More people need to watch it!”
Critics have also lauded the series for its exceptional writing and performances.
One reviewer notes that while the story introduces little new to the spy genre:”the plotting is tight, the dialogues are exquisitely written, and the cast is uniformly superb.”
Metacritic praises the series for achieving “the incredible task of being a human redemption story, a genuinely funny comedy, and above all, a terrific spy saga.”
A third review highlights Gary Oldman’s portrayal of Jackson Lamb, describing him as ‘the quintessential crusty old curmudgeon,’ and commends the show’s ‘stylized Cold War spy craft in a modern setting,’ calling it ‘a very satisfying watch.’
Slow Horses is a gripping espionage drama centered on a group of disgraced MI5 agents exiled to Slough House, a derelict outpost for the service’s misfits.
Under the abrasive leadership of Jackson Lamb, a washed-up yet cunning veteran played by Gary Oldman, these ‘slow horses’ tackle missions no one else wants, often finding themselves entangled in dangerous, high-stakes situations.
The series deftly blends razor-sharp wit, taut suspense, and poignant character development as the team uncovers conspiracies, navigates office dysfunction, and struggles for redemption.
With standout performances, including Kristin Scott Thomas as the icy, calculating Diana Taverner and Jack Lowden as the ambitious River Cartwright, the show breathes fresh life into the spy genre.
The bleak London setting and moody soundtrack enhance its atmosphere, while the blend of humor and grit makes it an unpredictable and compelling exploration of loyalty, ambition, and the cost of secrets.
As of January 2025, Slow Horses has four seasons available for streaming on Apple TV+.
The series has been renewed for a fifth season, which is expected to premiere later this year.
Additionally, a sixth season has been confirmed, indicating the show’s continued popularity and critical acclaim.
