Looks a little bonkers.
Kicks off on April 1.
I dunno. My reaction was the cast looks like an endorsement but it feels like it would need a solid writer and director.
Director James Hawes seems to be taking on his first whole project but has worked on some decently directly shows:
Book writer Mick Herron having his first adaption of his books: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11145649/
Writer for the show Will Smith (not the Fresh Prince) looks to lean in the comedy direction: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0810337/
From the looks of that clip they are keeping pretty close to the books which is a good thing and the cast fits in with the characters so I'm looking forward to this one!
Critics Consensus says : Winner
Mix of comedy and gravity works

I watched the first two episodes and enjoyed them.
Nothing we haven't before.
Fan of the books, and this has been consistent with them so far. Enjoying it.
I do have concerns that you would have to have read the books to really appreciate it, though. There's only six episodes in this first season, and I don't think that's enough time to really flesh out Lamb & Co.
I'm enjoying it however it is no Spooks.
A second season is already filmed and plans for more seemingly
I have finished first three very enjoyable so far.
Getting better and better just finished episode 5 only one more to go.
I will say though can't believe the kidnapped guy didn't do anything when he had the chance at petrol station!
Enjoyable season over all and the trailer for season 2 looks good enough to give it a go.
Very much agree....solid.
Really good ending!
Will watch season 2 plenty of stories to explore.
MVP (bar Kristin Scott Thomas) Saskia Reeves...terrific!
Have to echo the sentiments on here, brilliant show. Bodes well that there's a few books written already for this series so ample material for subsequent seasons.
Hopefully they won't leave it too long to release the already filmed season 2.
Excellent stuff. TV show of the year so far for me.
Totally enjoyable.
Gary Oldman was brilliant, great storyline. Terrific cast.
Apple TV+ has renewed their widely acclaimed spy drama ‘Slow Horses‘, starring Academy Award winner Gary Oldman, for seasons three and four before season two has even launched.
Watched the first two episodes of this and really liked it. It's a nice twist to have the main cast basically the worst, most incompetent dolts of MI5. Gary Oldman's performance is a shade too try hard but still fun all the same.
Finished this up and loved every minute; a really inventive approach to the espionage drama and threaded the needle so the Horses remained a bit useless by the end. Lamb and Standish had a great antagonistic chemistry, the former a great performance from Gary Oldman, really nailing the comedy and pathos of the failed spy. Was delighted to have a season 2 trailer play after the last episode's end
I don't think you could reasonably call Lamb "a failed spy"!
Well, thinking of stature and his general personal grooming. He is obviously very astute and capable - but Slough House is the pits and his team barely functional. Which has been half the fun.
Season 2 trailer
Season 2 starts December 2nd.
That's a pretty quick turn around, from the first having arrived in April.
Both season were filmed back to back season two was finished before season one even aired.
Looking forward to it. Will be interesting to see how such monumentally useless staff will get drawn into bigger mysteries and threats each time. Could be one of those things that if it keeps happening, credulity is stretched.
Really looking forward to this
Season 2 starts tomorrow.
Excellent, can't wait. A surprising Best Of across the year.
Just in the middle of episode 3 of the second series and really enjoying it
I'm enjoying this more than season 1 just for Gary Oldman stealing every single scene he is in.
The ending this week you could see coming a mile away.
Caught the first two episodes of season 2; it's such an eminently watchable show, and you gotta love this cast of total fúck-ups. They're all so lovably useless.
Min Harper though, easily the most hapless of the lot. He's so obviously out of his depth here but can't seem to accept it.
Also, feeling hungry after episode 2s tasty looking bacon sandwich, lol.
The ending was a bit meh
The bloke is a twat in the way he handled it, he’s more MIA than MI5
