Grimy and downbeat, Slow Horses series 2 is not your average espionage thriller Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A rail replacement bus service to Oxford Parkway is hardly the most glamorous of locations for a spy thriller to begin, but Apple TV+’sAs the first series of this adaptation of Mick Herron’s novels established, the rundown outpost of Slough House is the home of MI5’s least promising personnel. Now in its second season, the office remains a grotty and ramshackle career deadend presided over by Gary Oldman’s tetchy, sweary spy Jackson Lamb, the world’s messiest noodle eater.
Tense opening scenes see Dickie spot someone he not only recognises, but who also triggers flashbacks to a torturous interrogation. He promptly tails the man, only to die of apparent heart failure along the way, just managing to tap out a single word into his Notes app before snuffing it. River – now interviewing unsuccessfully for jobs in private intelligence – is still frustrated and mouthy, haunted by the shadow of the mistake that opened series one, when he monumentally ballsed up an anti-terrorism training exercise. Back at Slough House, tech whiz Roddy continues to be a douchebag and secretary Catherine continues to be overlooked.
