Get ready to cozy up and settle into the autumn season with the highly anticipated return of Slow Horses next week. This hit British show has captured the hearts of viewers and critics alike since its debut in 2022, and season four is sure to be no exception. In fact, it has already achieved a perfect 100% score on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
For those who haven't had the chance to catch up, there's still time to binge watch seasons one to three before the new season lands on Apple TV on Wednesday. Slow Horses follows a group of MI5 rejects who have been exiled to the bleak Slough House, where they are tasked with carrying out the intelligence service's least glamorous missions under the leadership of the infamous Jackson Lamb.
Critics have been raving about the latest season, with James Dyer from Empire Magazine describing it as "outstanding". He goes on to say, "Darkly funny and tighter than the buttons on Lamb's sauce-stained shirt, this is yet another exceptional season for Apple's brilliantly unconventional spy series." Nick Clark from The Evening Standard also praises the show, calling it "one of the great shows to come out of Britain full stop", and highlighting its fully realized world, superb script, and stellar cast.
John DeVore from AV Club adds, "It subverts the traditional spy story and reinvents it as a drama about a dysfunctional family. There is vinegary comedy and bone-cracking violence, too." And according to Apple, season four will open with a bang, as a bombing sets off a chain of events that will shake the already unstable foundations of Slough House.
Showrunner Will Smith has teased that the new season will bring even more tension for the Slough House gang, with repercussions from River's leak and a fracture within the group. He also reveals that we will see a different side to River as he goes against his own family for the first time.
The show boasts an all-star cast, including Jack Lowden as River Cartwright, Kristin Scott Thomas as MI5 heavyweight Diana Taverner, and Hugo Weaving as Frank Harkness. And it seems the cast and story have truly captivated audiences, with fans and critics alike calling it one of the best shows of all time.
Since its premiere, Slow Horses has received two Bafta Television Awards and nine additional nominations. And with the upcoming season premiering on Apple TV Plus, there's no better time to catch up on this must-watch series. So get ready to curl up on the sofa and immerse yourself in the thrilling world of Slow Horses.
