"Slow Horses Season 3: A Top-Notch Underdog Story"

Slow Horses Season 3 on Apple TV+ delivers an excellent espionage thriller with a mix of wry humor, intrigue, action, and tight ensemble storytelling. The show stands out by focusing on terrible spies and wallowing in shabbiness, with Gary Oldman's performance as the flabby, unwashed spymaster Jackson Lamb being a standout. The six-episode season maintains a strong pace, develops its supporting cast, and delivers tense drama punctuated with laughs. Overall, Slow Horses Season 3 is a fair-play mystery that continues to shine in its darkly comedic portrayal of misfit MI5 agents.

Kiefer Sutherland's 'Rabbit Hole' struggles to hold together in messy espionage series.

Paramount+’s new financial espionage thriller Rabbit Hole attempts to bring together different versions of Kiefer Sutherland’s performances, but fails to create a coherent show. The first two episodes are bad, but the third and fourth episodes are an improvement due to the arrival of Charles Dance. The show is ineffective as a ’70s thriller and misguided as an attempt to cover the same terrain as shows like Billions and Mr. Robot. However, as a Coen Brothers knockoff, it’s okay, especially in the third and fourth episodes.
