Slow Horses Season 6 is almost here, and frankly, I have reached the point where waiting for another batch of Jackson Lamb misery feels less like anticipation and more like a personal inconvenience. This is one of the few spy shows that can make an intelligence operation feel simultaneously dangerous, ridiculous, grubby, and painfully human….
There is something slightly terrifying about going into a new season of Slow Horses when you already know the show has decided to mess with its usual formula. This series has spent five seasons perfecting a very specific rhythm: take one Mick Herron novel, throw Jackson Lamb and the Slough House rejects into an increasingly…
Dark Matter Season 2 has finally arrived, and thankfully, Apple TV+ has not treated the return as an excuse to simply repeat Jason Dessen’s nightmare with a slightly different coat of paint. The second season premiered on August 28, 2026, and immediately pushes the story into territory the original novel never explored. That decision comes…
Dark Matter Season 2 has barely gotten started, and already I have the feeling that we need to throw out half of what we thought we understood about the multiverse. That might sound dramatic, but after watching the opening episodes, I honestly don’t know how else to put it. The first season gave us a…
Dark Matter Season 2 has already done something I honestly did not expect: it has made the Box itself feel more frightening than the alternate versions of Jason Dessen.

There are plenty of spy shows that want to make their agents look cool. Slow Horses has always seemed much more interested in showing what happens when MI5’s rejects are left to clean up everyone else’s mess. That is a big part of why the Apple TV+ series has become such a fan favorite. Jackson…
There are plenty of spy shows that take themselves very seriously. Slow Horses has never been one of them, and that’s probably a big reason why it works so damn well. The series can give you an ugly, uncomfortable joke one minute and then throw a character into a genuinely frightening situation the next. Somehow,…
There is something wonderfully chaotic about being a Slow Horses fan between seasons. You start by telling yourself you’ll wait patiently for official news. Then someone posts a blurry production photo on Reddit, another person claims to have spotted a cast member in a location they definitely shouldn’t be at, and suddenly you’re three hours…
There is something wonderfully grim about Slow Horses. Most spy shows want their agents to look impossibly cool while sprinting through explosions, driving expensive cars, and delivering perfectly timed one-liners. Jackson Lamb would probably ruin the car, insult the driver, and complain that the explosion was too loud. That is exactly why the series works….
