A.V. Club • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The show "Slow Horses" maintains its appeal by adhering to a consistent formula where the main characters, despite their heroic efforts, remain stuck in their lowly MI5 roles each season.
- The central characters include Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) and River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), who repeatedly save England and the world but are still unappreciated and disgruntled.
- The new season disrupts the usual status quo with a series of deaths within Lamb’s division, raising questions of coincidence versus conspiracy.
- Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas) plays a key role in the unfolding events, involving a high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge that puts the Slow Horses on the run.
- The upcoming season promises a tense and engaging narrative, as highlighted by the promotional trailer set to Franz Ferdinand’s “This Fire.”
