SLOW HORSES’ final episode was intensely thrilling. I could hardly catch my breath with all the chase scenes and killings. It reminded me of the film and book title, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. This MI5, action-packed spy story created a ‘shoot to kill’ theme every second. It was exciting and beyond my imagination for what goes on behind the manipulating Front Desk.
Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb and Jack Lowden as River Cartwright rule the series. They set the contentious tone, allowing audiences to ‘stand still’ when necessary. I can honestly say I always underestimate Slough House. Combined, they are a force to be reckoned with, even with bitterly sad outcomes. Relationships, both old and new, and family ties were put to the test. This is a very well-thought-out series that features brilliant character acting. It is more entertaining than I can ever say.
SLOW HORSES is television at its best. My only complaint is I want more. It is simply worth your time, your energy, and a standing O.
It is streaming on Apple TV+. Â
