Slow Horses

CriticsCritics: 90
AudienceAudience: 8.3

A dysfunctional team of disgraced MI5 agents, sidelined at a dreary office, find themselves drawn into espionage operations with serious stakes. Under the lead of an abrasive, seemingly slovenly boss, the misfits navigate secret dealings, internal rivalries, and threats to England while trying to prove their worth.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like gritty spy stories, sharp banter, flawed characters, and tension mixed with dark humor; Not for you if you want polished heroics, consistently plausible plotting, or gentle comedy.
