📺 ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

Jackson Lamb and his crew of spy-rejects are back in season three of Slow Horses. Based on Mick Herron’s Slough House novels, Slow Horses follows MI5 discards doomed to live in purgatorial administrative service after massively messing up. They are known by the series’ name, slow horses, and are periodically suffering mental abuse from their misanthropic leader, Jackson Lamb (Oldman). And as you may expect, trouble finds them quite quickly.

The third season starts uncharacteristically fast-paced: An action-packed sequence making a jarring introduction in Istanbul throws us head-first into the show. The shocking death of an agent who is leaking a sensitive document punctuates this scene before we’re transported to the following year, thrusting us into the disintegration of the Slough House staff.

Members of Slough House are coping with the aftermath of season two, either through drink or accepting their purgatory, up until some of Lamb’s horses begin to disappear.

Aside from Oldman, Kristen Scott-Thomas’ performance of the stoic, purse-lipped second chair of MI5 has received plenty of commendations, and after seeing a few episodes we can see why.

WHERE TO WATCH- Season three of Slow Horses, along with the first two, is streaming exclusively on Apple TV+.
