I'm four in and will probably finish it tonight. Gary Oldman is brilliant. Shaping up very nicely indeed - a complex narrative with twists that I'm very much hooked into.

Based on Mick Herron's Slough House espionage book series. The narration on Audible is particularly good. Highly recommended!.

Actually thought that Slow Horses was rather contrived. Not a patch on the first season of Berlin Station or all five of the French series The Bureau.

I was going to start this after work tonight then I realised it hasn't all been released yet.

I'll wait and binge on it when all the episodes are available.

Gary Oldman was brilliant in the first season.

This series was a recommendation from website I came across, only 4 into season 1, but it great stuff. Glad to find out there's a season 2 as well, this me sorted for next week or so...much better than the Christmas dross on normal TV

I really enjoyed season 1 but I'm finding season 2 far better in terms of the actual plot. Superb stuff so far

I loved it. One of the best shows I've watched this past year.

I love the character development and the attachment they create with you as you go through it.

Wish seasons were a bit longer though

The next batch of Slow Horses episodes will begin arriving from 1 December, unfolding the events of novel Real Tigers across six episodes. The first two will drop on the first day of the month, with the subsequent four instalments due to arrive weekly from then on.



This will be the best thing on telly this Christmas.
