This post contains spoilers For "slow horses" season 5, episode 1: "Bad dates".

Slow House travelers in "Slow Horses" are not a reliable cup. Together, they mistakenly appeared in terrorist attacks, were deceived by other departments and blown more covers since the signing of Michael Bay's book. They are antithesis of everything cool in the world of espionage, and most other well -known spies are likely to consider. It is all part of the charm, unprofitable and unprofessional as it can be, which made Will Smith adaptation to the Book Series "Slau House" One of the best shows on Apple TV+ to date.

Now, in their fifth season, even with their long list of mistakes, slow horses have still managed to overthrow the bad guys with little or no recognition for their achievements, and if they get anything, it's as strict as guys from falling on the Mi5. There is no shine in their lives like second -degree spies. It is the less life of Martinis and Aston Martins and more one of the poorly made cups of tea and cars with radios that only play "Coldplay".

However, even with this unfilter lifestyle, there is one thing that the group of screw-ups makes it better than the heroes of other espionage shows or even famous spies on the big screen. In their regular risk routine danger and death, if one of the Acksecson Lamb (Gary Oldman) "Oesos" put a foot wrong or, in the case of the premiere of season 5, completely moved away from the dance, there is no great spectacle or emotionally goodbye. In Slau House, it's just another day at work - and another reason Why "slow horses" is still the best streaming spy show.

Until now, the "slow horses" have withstood three significant losses, all of which have seen personal characters that make sharp and fast outings. The first was Sid of Olivia Cook in Season 1, followed by Min Harper (Dustin Demri-Burns), taking the wrong turn with some Russians who cost his life. The third was when Marcus Lungridge (Kadiff Kirwan) took a bullet from the attacker of the house. Even in a team that is constantly under each other's feet in their now -loved, tight and worn office, the impact of their pass has only walked so far. For min, Louisa Guy (Rosalind Eleazar) was affected by sadness, and it seems that Shirley (Aime-Fpion Edwards) will be the same for Marcus, with both being on self-destructive paths, making them dangerous on the ground.

However, for everyone else, passing their colleagues has resolved with almost the gossip in the office. It is a news that accidentally breaks through Slau House as if someone was fired or lecturing their resignation. It is this level of normality around the darkest part of the characters' jobs that makes "slow horses" attractive and realistic watch. More often than not, the show approaches The atmosphere of Dander Mifflin in "Office" than he does "24" or "night agent". Also, this is what the author of the original series of books had before his novels to try on the screen.

In Q&A for Season 5 (through Radio Times), Author "Slau House" Mick Honon discussed how Slau House passengers deal with death or departure in their work. "I wanted to write about the effect on the other characters to take away one of those characters, and the answers they would have, starting with being really broken from heart to birth (Christopher Jung), who did not give a throw," he explained. Indeed, this idea is handled by brilliantly through "slow horses", but what is just as impressive is how the oesis left out of their own consent left just as fast and sadly as those killed in action.

In Season 5, Episode 1, "Bad Dates", Slau House is suffering a loss when Louisa finally decides to leave, choosing to get out of the back door, rather than withstanding a lot of goodbye from her colleagues. The moment ends with a silent drink - and an awkward kiss - from the water with Rivera (Jackec Ludden), who was politely said that their friendship ends here. "I think it's more" don't call me, I'll call you "a kind of space," she explains, a lot of disappointment to her colleague, because she decides to completely leave her spy life behind. In any other show, fans could hold on to the thrill of hope that she would come back, but it is a testimony to both Heron and Smith that she feels more confident that there is no one. These are the "slow horses", where there is no second chance and death is always nearby. It's all part of the job, even if they do it very, very bad.
