Slow Horses has not only turned in another thrilling season full of excitement and intrigue but an emotionally affecting one, too. Read full review

Look past the deceptively expensive shabby chic and the faultless direction, and Slow Horses is, often, sticking closely to genre tropes. But it never lets itself go stale, and the new episodes benefit from new blood in what is already a luxuriously fine cast. Read full review

It's an excellent spotlight for Lowden and Pryce, as well as Hugo Weaving as the latest bad guy, though it at times comes at the expense of the rest of the cast. Even Gary Oldman's delightfully flatulent Jackson Lamb gets a bit less to do than in previous seasons. .... But the mix of absurdity and suspense remains addictive. [Sep 2024, p.77]

The temptation to celebrate the show for Oldman’s central performance – as corpulent and corrupt as ever – belies its evolution into one of the most consistent, and consistently enjoyable, shows on TV. Read full review

The performances are generally good, and Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas, as Lamb’s ruthlessly efficient, surreptitiously human boss, are great. And the writing continues to delineate the show’s colorful characters in quietly amusing ways. .... A larger problem, which the current season shares with the previous one, is that the external engines of the season’s story arc feel more forced and outlandish than before. Read full review
