Launching Apple TV+ 29th November (with two episodes), ‘slow horse‘ makes a triumphant return to the screen with another winning blend of character work, memorable dialogues and compelling action.
when Gary OldmanIts Jackson Lamb is going to be the standout, but there’s no weak link in this cast, and some new recruits (including one who’s only in the first episode) only add to that feeling.

What works about ‘Slow Horse’ Season 3?
Apple TV+ is clearly happy with the success of this adaptation of Mick Heron’s popular spy thriller novels, as the streaming service commissions the season in two batches –– giving us a taste of the second as the credits roll for the first.
It will continue with Season 4, which has already been shot, and judging by the quality of Season 3, that’s a very good thing.
Even in this age of peak television and shorter streaming seasons, there are some shows that have only run out of steam for a few seasons. Fortunately, ‘slow horse’ is definitely not one of them. Showrunner Will Smith (Not that one) and his team have maintained the standard of entertainment all season so far and the third is no exception.
If you’ve never seen the show, it’s a very different world from normal heroes, says James Bond or Jason Bourne. It’s set in a much more street-level, gritty and reject world of MI5, who have somehow taken over and been sent to a satellite office of the Security Service.
Slough House (from which the team gets its nickname) is the butt-end of the detective world, a place where careers die when they can’t hack it in the glittering glass and hard concrete world of the service headquarters in Regent’s Park.
And yet… led by drunken, bloated Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), they always manage to make it work. When major crises threaten the UK, the party is often drafted in, usually out of unwillingness to participate.
Oldman is clearly having the time of his life playing Lamb, all stained shirts and stringy hair whose exterior and swaggering manner (one of his favorite lines this season is, “You’re welcome like a turd in a hot tub”) is a keen intelligence towards those who earn it. and hides a strong sense of loyalty. Although he constantly insults his team, he will lay down his life to help any of them in truly dire straits.
He is primarily supported by Saskia Reeves‘ Catherine Standish, an alcoholic but long-time officer who runs Slough House and gives Lamb the balance he needs.
Elsewhere, River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), who began appearing as an audience member after being exiled to Lamb’s team after a bad call in a training exercise, has truly become part of the gang –– realizing that he has indeed found the perfect place to work. Even complaining about it from time to time.
The rest of the team are all interesting characters, including the arrogant (for no reason other than his hacking skills) tech bro agent Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung), the world-weary Louisa Guy (Rosalind Eleazar), who is still recovering from the death of her partner/lover in season 2, and new recruit Shirley Dander (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) and Marcus Longridge (Kadif Kirwan) get some much-needed depth, even if it means they’re both thrust into danger.
It’s a perfectly assembled ensemble that plays off each other, and the supporting cast is just as good –– Christine Scott Thomas Diana brings an icy coolness to her role as Taverner, essentially second-in-command at Regent’s Park HQ and constantly vying for the top job.
Went to that location Sophie OkonedoIts Ingrid Tierney, and she takes great pleasure in reminding Diana of the place. Okonedo is as good as a bookish bureaucrat with an owlish nature encased in a spine of steel.
When it’s time to start the action, the ‘slow horse’ doesn’t stop –– we won’t go into spoilers for this season’s big clash, but if you’ve watched previous seasons, you’ll realize that it really leans into the idea of a clash with stakes.
What doesn’t work in ‘Slow Horse’ Season 3?
There’s little wrong with the new season of ‘Slow Horses’ –– while some might say that each new storyline brings some variation of the espionage genre: threats to the nation; A conspiracy to keep secrets long buried; One of the team is being kidnapped for leverage.
Each time, however, the writers undercut them with the show’s humor and style.
‘Slow Horse’ Season 3: Final Thoughts
In a world where spies are usually slick operators who save the day with complicated gadgets or by seducing the right woman, it’s reassuring to know that ‘Slow Horse’ offers an alternative, low-key, hungry but very human approach to intelligence work. These horses can be tall (although it is slow).
‘Slow Horses’ Season 3 received 9 out of 10 stars.
What is the story of ‘Slow Horse’ season 3?
