Gary Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb in season 5 of Slow Horses. Apple TV
Slow Horses is a good show. No, it's better than good; It's downright riveting. I suppose that shouldn't come as a surprise, considering the accolades it's received. Then there's Gary Oldman's involvement. This is the first TV series the Oscar-winner has starred in, and he's (big surprise) absolutely fantastic in it.
The spy thriller is inspired by Mick Herron's Slough House book, which centers around the crew of Slough House, a dumping ground for MI5 rejects. Oldman plays Jackson Lamb, their calculated yet disheveled and uncouth leader.
In case you haven't caught on yet, this is no James Bond. That's what makes the show so good.
