Slow Horses season 5 premieres next week, and reviews for the new season just dropped. Here’s what critics say to expect from the return of one of the best shows on Apple TV+.
Slow Horses season 5 keeps excellence streak alive, per reviews
The wait for more Slow Horses is almost over.
Slow Horses season 5 premieres next Wednesday, September 24 with its first episode.
Reviews are out for the beloved Apple TV+ espionage drama’s latest outing.
Here are some quotes from critics:
- The Telegraph: “Slow Horses is unusual: a long-running show that hasn’t had a drop-off in quality. There is a supreme sense of confidence about the way it is put together.”
- Radio Times: “The funniest outing yet is also the best so far”
- Collider: “Season 5 is a return to the familiar, a comfort-food installment that isn’t really trying to top what came before — but that doesn’t mean it’s still not a hell of a lot of fun.”
Some general themes from all reviews so far is that season 5 is definitely the funniest outing yet, but at times character development lacks the emotional depth of the last couple seasons.
Overall though, critics agree that Slow Horses remains one of the best shows on TV.
Here’s Apple’s official season summary and the trailer:
In season five of “Slow Horses,” everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected. After all, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, the London Rules — cover your back — always apply.
Like previous seasons, Slow Horses season 5 is a tight six episodes long. And it ends with a teaser trailer for season 6, which has already been shot. Wondering about season 7? It’s already in the works.
Thanks to the strong source material from Mick Herron’s Slough House book series, and the excellent creative team behind the show, Slow Horses looks set to continue offering great TV for years to come.
You can watch the first four seasons of Slow Horses on Apple TV+.
Apple TV+ is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, Silo, and Shrinking.
