The slow horses did not disappoint. When Jackson Lamb gets motivated, Slough House takes on a much brighter atmosphere compared to the first season. It became reversible. Outside, it's full of serious business and it's still raining.
Urgent situations come rushing in, but thanks to the actors who play the role of slowness, spying feels like a tight push-and-pull with a girlfriend.
Other characters are swayed here and there by the volatile love situations that are unfolding, but Jackson Lamb, who has seized the initiative, is just being picky on his own.
Sorry for Gary Oldman, Jackson Lamb looks like the grandma from Little Red Riding Hood. And looking at Gary's performance, it seems that the old woman has already secretly eaten the wolf and is knitting, waiting for Little Red Riding Hood River through her thick glasses.
The gloomy first chase scene was especially good in the heat, while the strange currents that flowed through Cicada between Reaver and other Cold War-era agents who seemed overly peaceful were the best. The calm before the storm? Eye of the storm? Anyway, that the shattered peace began to make a terrible sound when the glass was scratched.
It was fine except for the fact that the directing of the facility when bringing in the hard was far from Slough House.
In the midst of the tumult over the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this material seems quite timely. I was worried that the drama would come out as well as the first season, but it was pretty good. An episode that felt more rewarding than expected.
