Gary Oldman's show labelled 'best on TV' as it smashes Rotten Tomatoes record

Slow Horses season 4 on Apple TV+

The gripping drama hailed as one of the "best series on British television" has notched a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes and is smashing records on Apple TV after its fourth series premiere last week.

Gary Oldman's acclaimed series Slow Horses made a triumphant return to our screens with a new batch of episodes on September 4, swiftly breaking records and earning rave reviews from critics.

The sharp, witty spy thriller revolves around a group of MI5 misfits led by the notorious Jackson Lamb, portrayed by Gary Oldman. Anita Singh of The Telegraph, who gave the show four stars, lauded the series as "flawless" and commended its "stellar cast".

She remarked: "We're into series four now and there is no drop in quality. If anything, each series improves slightly on the last. Watching it is pure pleasure. There isn't a wasted scene or a duff piece of dialogue."

Erik Kain of Forbes also praised the show, stating: "Jackson Lamb is the hero television needs right now".

Viewers have been flocking to X, heaping praise on the gripping series with gusto.

With the recent release of its new series, Slow Horses has garnered plaudits as "undoubtedly the best spy series on television" and praised for being a "forceful, funny, and conspiratorial" production.
