Story
It follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve as a dumping ground for MI5 due to their career-ending mistakes.
He’s worked on several of Gary’s films
Featured in Graham Norton I Like: Kristin Scott Thomas/George Takei/Claudia Winkleman/Jamie Oliver/First Aid Kit (2022).
This is a stylized Cold War spycraft in a modern setting – and it’s a very satisfying watch
Gary Oldman plays the quintessential grumpy old man, an MI5 spy left over from the Cold War (and ostracized in Slough House), still defending shadows and seeing real threats before anyone else.
Another well-made show that builds its immediate world with details of environment, character (and subterfuge) – the indispensable building blocks of good storytelling
If you’re just starting to watch this show now that season 2 has come out, do yourself a favor and watch season 1 first – it’s a good story and will offer a depth of character and situation that will add to your enjoyment.
Highly recommended – Oldman and Kristin Scott-Thomas are fantastic, as are Jack Lowden and Saskia Reeves
Season 2 seems to have upped the ante in terms of production design and cinematography – it really paid off and elevated the show above the weekly episodic TV grind.
