slow horses season 5 review

The fifth season of "Slow Horses" on Apple TV+ has received generally positive reviews, though some critics consider it the weakest season yet while still entertaining. The season is praised for its efficiency with only six episodes, its gripping plot involving political violence and online radicalization, and strong performances, particularly by Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden. However, some reviews mention that the plot feels rushed with too much content packed into the short season, leading to less character focus and a faster pace than previous seasons. The show continues to blend dark humor with timely issues, maintaining its distinctive tone despite a heavier and more serious storyline involving mass shootings and political extremism. Overall, it remains compelling and well-crafted, though with some signs of fatigue compared to earlier seasons.
