Series four of Slow Horses has been roundly praised as the “best season yet”.
The fourth season of the Apple TV+ spy drama arrived last week, with the first two episodes available to stream now.
Now, it has set a new record for the streaming service after achieving a 100 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The show is based on the Slough House series of novels by Mick Herron and revolves around a group of British intelligence officers who have been demoted after having made significant mistakes. Oldman’s Jackson Lamb is the head of Slough House, and the show also stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden and Jonathan Pryce.

“Slow Horses is the best crime show to come out of the UK,” The Metro hailed in its five star review while The Guardian said: “Gary Oldman roars like a bear dipped in chip fat.”
Forbes also hailed the show adding that it “continues to be one of the very best TV shows on streaming right now.”
Elsewhere, Empire described series four as “yet another oustanding season” which makes this “series such a consistent delight”.
Rolling Stone meanwhile concluded: “No homework is required, nor is it difficult to get up to speed on what’s happening. You can just dive right into the latest adventure on this enormously entertaining show – and if you haven’t yet, you should.”
Meanwhile, Gary Oldman recently revealed that he told Christopher Nolan that he considered his commitment to Slow Horses as more important than his appearance in Oppenheimer.
Oldman portrayed the US President Harry S. Truman in Nolan’s blockbuster, and in a recent interview he disclosed the conversation he had with the director before he accepted the role.
“I’m tethered to [Slow Horses], even when I’ve got a six-month break,” he said. “And it dictates if I do anything else.”
“I did a day on Oppenheimer. I said to Chris Nolan, ‘I would love to come and do it, but I’m going to have to wear a prosthetic cap and a wig and I can’t cut my hair. So if you can deal with that, then I’d love to come and do it. And if you don’t want wigs, then you have to get someone else to do it.’ Lamb is never far away in that sense.”
