Slow Horses Ratings & Reviews
- stevencaceres245June 26, 2025You will absolutely fall in love with Gary Oldman again and again. His character is flawed, hostile and brilliant. They’re not afraid to kill off characters. And episode after episode. It is just a fun ride. We look forward to watching these. A great spy thriller series about the underdogs
- parcolanJuly 2, 2025Very very good 👌🏻
- Coops_712d agoWho needs a gun to clear a room when you've got Lambs bodily functions after a few drams and a doggy curry the night before! Brilliant show.
- Kraine OpasenJune 20, 2025“A sharp, savage, and darkly hilarious take on the spy game.” Forget sleek suits and shaken martinis — Slow Horses throws you into the grimy back alleys of British intelligence, where washed-up spies, bad coffee, and worse tempers collide. And it's glorious. Gary Oldman is phenomenal — a walking disaster of sarcasm, brilliance, and flatulence, leading MI5’s most dysfunctional rejects. But make no mistake: behind the humor and self-loathing lies serious bite. The show balances its razor-sharp wit with tense shootouts, corpses piling up, and good old Cold War paranoia — including KGB ghosts, Russian schemes, and political backstabbing. It’s clever. It’s brutal. It’s weirdly heartwarming. And the writing? Wickedly British. Every insult lands like a punch, every twist surprises, and every episode leaves you grinning — or gasping. Spy thrillers rarely get this fun and this smart. A hidden gem that deserves all the praise.

- Adam2d agoAm excellent series that doesn't get caught up in its own excellence.
- Callum3d ago⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (out of 5) Slow Horses – The other side of Her Majesty’s Secret Service: where spies go to rot, not to shine. “Slow Horses” is the anti–James Bond — a sardonic, razor-sharp glimpse into the forgotten backrooms of espionage, where the glamour has long since been scraped off the walls. These are not tuxedoed heroes sipping martinis; they’re the bureaucratic ghosts of MI5, filing reports and cleaning up the messes so Bond can keep his tux spotless. Led by Gary Oldman’s gloriously dishevelled Jackson Lamb, the team at Slough House represents everything the Bond franchise politely ignores — failure, fatigue, and the unvarnished drudgery of real intelligence work. It’s the council-worker version of MI5: the ones down in the sewers making sure the toilets flush before the spies at the ball make their speeches. The writing is brilliantly bleak, laced with British wit and weary humour that turns mediocrity into art. It’s a show where loyalty is begrudging, victory is messy, and survival is the only real success. Compared to Bond’s world of Aston Martins and high-stakes seduction, Slow Horses is all nicotine-stained windows and bad coffee — but it’s infinitely more human for it. Gritty, funny, and utterly compelling, this is espionage stripped of illusion, where even heroes smell faintly of despair and takeaway curry.
- ThPOctober 19, 2025Great TV show. Exactly the opposite of James Bond movies
- PhantastikPhantomSeptember 25, 2025Great series, so far! I'm loving every minute of it!
- plexideanSeptember 28, 2025its a good series. defenitely worth the watch. the characters unfortunately all get a bit annoying..;.especially from season 4 on. it's like their main traits are being annoying. and that's annoying.
- psike64October 10, 2024Da vedere assolutamente. Non è una serie prettamente di azione, ma il protagonista Jackson Lamb è un personaggio iconico :)
