    The Chase Is On

    In this series, we learn quickly that there are no easy answers. Also, like with John LeCarre, the heroes are often unrewarded. There are two focuses here. One is the continuing saga of the kidnapped Pakistani kid and the men who have him. There are several scenes of great tenstion, one being the purchase of petrol at a remote gas station. But as I said before, one of the kidnappers is psychotic. He actually believes in what he is doing where the others were just supposed to put on a show, allow that awful woman to rescue the guy, and their ways. This is well orchestrated, leading to the conclusion of the season.

    Working with you is lowest point of a disappointing career

    The horses race to devise a trojan horse to graze for evidence of Lady Di's (Kristin Scott Thomas) false flag operation, thereby avoiding their imminent gelding.

    Another excellent episode with some brilliant one liners, especially from Lamb (Gary Oldman) who acts with a newfound audacity to match his acerbic verbiage. Not much new in the plot, but a shocking closing cliffhanger.

    Working with you...... has to be the lowest point of my disappointing career.

    After the delights of the relatively low-key cat and mouse (or should we say dog and mole) game last week, episode 5 of Slow Horses covers relatively similar ground, and not necessarily in the best way. As Lamb (Gary Oldman) and River (Jack Lowden) search for the evidence that will prove Taverner's (Kristin Scott-Thomas) involvement with the kidnapping debacle, the rest of the Slough House crew try to keep under the radar. But as the net tightens, it seems like time is running out and Hassan (Antonio Aakeel) remains in serious trouble as tensions within the Sons of Albion rise to breaking point. Slow Horses as part of a binge-watching session then it might not even register, but in isolation the last two episodes have done relatively well what one episode could have done really well. Much of this episode felt like treading similar ground to last week, even if the plot is moving forward with momentum and the final third is where the action really ramps up. Perhaps it's intentional and in keeping with the theme that has been evident right from the start: a lot of spy work is tremendously tedious. But, unfortunately, this episode didn't feel as exciting as last week, even if there was as much, if not more, stuff happening within it.

    • Goofs
      Catherine Standish sources the registration number of the kidnappers' van by phoning the van hire company at roughly 4.30am. There is NO WAY that a provincial van hire company would have anyone answering the phone at that time in the morning in the UK.

      Jackson Lamb: I don't normally do these kind of speeches, but this feels like a big moment, and if it all turns to shit, I might not see any of you again.

      [beat]

      Jackson Lamb: You're fucking useless. The lot of you. Working with you has been the lowest point in a disappointing career.
