Knowing it’s the hope that kills you, that kills you.

Slow Horses is arguably the best series currently in production. The disheveled yet sharp-witted Jackson Lamb (an excellent Gary Oldman) and his motley crew of slightly unorthodox agents always seem to stay one step ahead of other intelligence agencies thanks to their unique brand of deduction, and their methods are more straightforward. It makes for fun, relaxing, and hellishly entertaining viewing.
