‘Slow Horses’ Season 3: A Guide to Every Episode in the New Season of the Hit Spy Series

Apple TV+’s Slow Horses is one of the best thriller shows on television—but unfortunately, it feels like there’s never enough of it. Based on the Slough House spy novel series by Mick Herron and starring Oscar winner Gary Oldman, Slow Horses always manages to tell a tightly paced and twisty story. If only they would double the season order and give us more of our favorite misfit MI5 agents.
