Apple TV+’s Slow Horses rewards well-seasoned thespians with the role of a lifetime.
The central gag of Slough House, the organization, is that the worst spies in London have been thrown together in one building and punished with terrible, useless jobs. When MI5 rookie River Cartwright is sent to Slough House, for example, he’s put to work sorting through garbage he steals from bins. When he asks Jackson Lamb, his boss, what he’s meant to be looking for, Lamb cracks, “The remnants of a once promising career.”, some of most accomplished actors in the U.K.
Chief among the stellar cast is, of course, Gary Oldman, playing Jackson Lamb, head of Slough House. The actor was once the bright young hope of British film, not least because his high spirits made even his most repugnant characters tremendously appealing. The guy was the electrifying lead in. Though Oldman gives him a little de rigueur haunted gloom, Lamb is basically a cartoon character, emitting withering insults and noxious gases in equal measure.
