Slow Horses cast side by side in a gallery looking serious
Slow Horses, Apple TV+'s dark comedy spy thriller, has become a huge hit. Well-received by viewers and critics alike, it has earned an impressive 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, certainly helped by its casting of legendary actor Gary Oldman as the show's obnoxious yet likable lead. However, despite its reputation, the show being three seasons in might be off-putting for anyone hoping to tune in for Slow Horses season 4.
The outcast protagonists of Slow Horses are key to its charm, and this is also the case with the television adaptation. Hot-headed young agent River Cartwright is the series' closest iteration of the James Bond archetype. The Slow Horses' boss, slovenly and obnoxious veteran Jackson Lamb, couldn't be further from the ideal. The good news for viewers is that they'll be around for a while.
7 Diana Taverner Manipulates The Slow Horses To Serve Her Own Aims Taverner and Lamb's Battle Of Wits Are A High Point In The Series Close Slow Horses finds a compelling secondary antagonist in Diana Taverner, a prime example of the inherent duplicity of the espionage world. She will often call on the Slough House team to perform her dirty work, particularly in complicated cases where MI5 needs to be able to claim plausible deniability should operations go awry.
5 River's Relationship With His Grandfather Is Important In Slow Horses The Former Agent Is Beginning To Show Signs Of Dementia Close Throughout Slow Horses, David Cartwright has served as his grandson's mentor and confidant. He is an imposing figure even in old age, but while he remains sharp, Slow Horses hints that the elder Cartwright is losing his edge, showing the early signs of developing dementia.
Even beyond MI5, external forces are at work. Slow Horses season 3, for instance, introduced the concept of "Tiger Teams", an external special unit designed to expose MI5's security weaknesses. They become central to the plot when Sean Donovan, seeking revenge for the death of an agent he was romantically involved with, goes rogue. While Tiger Teams can come from anywhere, the season 3 iteration came from the private security firm "Chieftain".
