Slow Horses

Gary Oldman plays Jackson Lamb, a flatulent, whisky-soaked MI5 reject leading a department of disgraced spies who stumble into real conspiracies. Based on Mick Herron's novels, the Apple TV+ series offers six-episode seasons with no filler, razor-dry British humor, and Oldman at his best since *Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy*. Its blend of lean storytelling and character depth redefines the genre.
