'Slow Horses' Season 2 Ramps Up the Action, Emotion, and Stakes | Review

SlowHorses bolts out of the gate with a Season 2 that never takes a breath until the heart-pounding conclusion. Our review:

Slow Horses bolts out of the gate with a new season that picks up where the inaugural season left off and never takes a breath until the heart-pounding conclusion. Whereas Season 1 seemed at times unsure of what it wanted to be, the sophomore season raises the stakes — as well as the action and the drama.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While the main plotline for Season 1 revolved around the kidnapping of a young Muslim man, the stakes for Season 2 are much higher, both for the Slow Horses and for Britain as a whole. To start things off, a former MI5 agent, Dickie Bow , is found dead on a bus, and it's clear to Lamb from the start that this is not a mere heart attack, as police claim.

Season 2 barely lets off the gas for any of the six episodes and keeps you guessing about who's involved in what, and who may live or die. The agents of Slough House may be considered screw-ups, but it's clear early on that their jobs are just as dangerous — maybe even more so — as the top MI5 agents at "The Park.

River, of course, is the main character, next to Oldman's Lamb, and he remains in the limelight, finally getting a chance to prove his mettle to MI5 — and maybe more importantly to him than he'd admit, to Lamb. River goes into full spy mode this season, assuming a new identity and working undercover. Will he screw it up, as he did in the infamous training exercise that started Season 1? It's fun to watch and find out.
