There is nothing quite like what\u2019s happened with one of Apple TV+\u2019s most successful shows, given the landscape of streaming these days.<\/p>\n
Slow Horses is not only an amazing spy thriller, but it\u2019s a series that produces a new season every year, or even in less than a year, with way-in-advance renewals and fast filming. For instance, season 7 of Slow Horses started filming before season 5, out this week, even aired. That simply does not happen anywhere in the industry right now.<\/p>\n
With the return of Slow Horses, we are already seeing that this is yet another 100% Rotten Tomatoes scored season<\/a>. That makes it the third out of five seasons, with season 4 and season 2 also getting 100%s. Season 1 had a terrible (ha) 95% while season 3 had a 98%. The show is rated at a 98% across all five seasons right now, a pretty monumental achievement in the industry. <\/p>\n Both Apple and star Gary Oldman seem content that they will be making this show forever. Oldman has said he plans to keep playing Jackson Lamb \u201cas long as Apple keeps us on the air.\u201d<\/p>\n Slow Horses is easily one of Apple TV+\u2019s best productions, and while it\u2019s not grabbing all the headlines or racking up Severance-level views, I\u2019d argue that it is the consistently best show overall on a service with a rather surprising amount of great shows. Here\u2019s what critics have said about this perfect-rated season of Slow Horses so far:<\/p>\n Lady Geeks Media<\/a> \u2013 \u201cThere\u2019s much to explore and unveil with the six episodes, proving that where there\u2019s a concise vision and narrative outlining, the story will continuously find a way to be captivating. And Slow Horses Season 5 certainly captivates.\u201dTech Advisor<\/a> \u2013 \u201cLamb continues to be a true delight on screen, with Gary Oldman once again delivering some dialogue for the ages and new mannerisms to go down in the show\u2019s legend.\u201dAV Club<\/a> \u2013 \u201cThis many seasons in, the show needs to do some of this maneuvering so as not to drive home the same central characters\u2019 issues and burn out… But that doesn\u2019t make any of this less delightful to watch, maybe just less fulfilling.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t think of anything I didn\u2019t like about it,\u201d says a Metro review<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite being a 100% scored outing in season 4, fans were a little less on board, rating it an 87% instead. But that has been true of the entire series. Audience scores are between an 87-89% for every single season, which is kind of interesting to see.<\/p>\n Slow Horses season 5 is out this Wednesday.
