Slow Horses returns next week to Apple TV, and early reviews say season 6 is “the best one yet.” Here’s a sampling of the first reviews.
Slow Horses season 6 has new creative leadership, but quality hasn’t dropped at all per reviews
Jackson Lamb and his motley Slough House crew are back next week, ready for more comedy-infused espionage antics.
Slow Horses season 6 premieres Wednesday, September 16 with one episode, followed by weekly releases through October 21.
Behind the scenes, season 6 brings several notable changes: a new showrunner and lead writer, and the season is based on two Mick Herron books rather than one.
But early signs point to these changes proving beneficial to the show.
Reviews dropped today, and Awards Buzzsays Slow Horses’ new season is its “best one yet.” Similar sentiments are expressed by several other reviews. Here’s a sampling of excerpts:
- Decider: “Season 6 is another remarkable, larger-than-life feat for the small screen that proves the brilliant thriller is at the top of its strange, strange game”
- Comic Book Club: “nearly every episode has a wild twist, huge cliffhanger, big character death/return, and sometimes all three”
- Next Best Picture: “Slow Horses…shows no signs of slowing down, even amid a creative shakeup. It continues to prove why it’s one of the year’s essential watches.”
Slow Horses is one of Apple’s most acclaimed shows, and the only one that manages to release a new season every single year.
That streak likely won’t let up any time soon either, as Apple continues to work ahead on future seasons.
Are you a fan of Slow Horses? Or do you plan to catch up on it ahead of season 6? Let us know in the comments.
Apple TV is available for $14.99 per month, or you can get it discounted through the Apple One bundle.
