Season 1 Review:
In many ways, it feels as though Down Cemetery Road is finding itself as much as Sarah and Zoë are. But the show’s brisk pace and unexpected humor help keep things surprising, and let’s not kid ourselves, we’d all watch actresses of this caliber read the phone book together.

Season 1 Review:
If there are more shows like this coming down the pike—thrillers with heavy doses of humor, generally fantastic casting (Wilson, it’s worth noting, gives a very good and tricky star performance here), a sizable budget, and some smart narrative decisions (more refreshingly abrupt, life-goes-on endings like this one, please)—viewers should consider themselves pretty lucky.

Season 1 Review:
Most of it is executed elegantly and acted more than competently (though Adeel Akhtar pushes the obsequiousness awfully hard). There is no reason not to enjoy “Down Cemetery Road” (the title comes from a Philip Larkin poem) as a high-grade dark-comic thriller that is as consistently enjoyable as the novel, probably more so.

Season 1 Review:
At eight episodes, “Down Cemetery Road” lacks the drum-tight concision that makes “Slow Horses” such an addictive watch. But the show shares enough positive qualities with its predecessor, from a mordant wit to some riveting action once things heat up, that “Slow Horses” fans will find plenty to tide them over between seasons.
