Right now you can watch Slow Horses in Australia on Apple TV, and in the US on Apple TV — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. With 6 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 894 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Gary Oldman is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Apple TV.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Slow Horses earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Slow Horses from the crowd. Follow a dysfunctional team of MI5 agents—and their obnoxious boss, the notorious Jackson Lamb—as they navigate the espionage world's smoke and mirrors to defend England from sinister forces. The chemistry Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Across 6 seasons (2022–2025), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The timing in Slow Horses is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Slow Horses is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. Spooks is the obvious comparison, but Slow Horses earns its own place alongside it. At 6 seasons, this is a genuine commitment — one that pays off. Gary Oldman anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
