Slow Horses (2022) Episodes 5-6

Gary Oldman leads a 6-episode adaptation of the 2010 novel by Mick Herron, the first of eight so far.  The core high concept of this series is that Mi5 has a secret side agency where they send all of their fuckup agents into a sort of purgatory (Slough House).  A brilliantly written dark comedy.

Next week, movie episode!  Red Sparrow (2018) stars Jennifer Lawrence as a Russian SVR-trained 'Sparrow' who matches wits against a CIA agent (Joel Edgerton) while trying to stay one step ahead of her handlers.
