Slow Horses Season Six Raises Stakes With Darker Humor

Slow Horses is a spy show about agents who have been pushed aside by MI5.

In season six, someone begins attacking the Slough House team.

One former team member is killed, and the agents are erased from official records.

Jackson Lamb tries to protect his colleagues while using his usual sharp sarcasm.

River Cartwright discovers that Sid Baker, who was thought to be dead, is alive.

Russian assassins then attack River and Sid.

River’s mercenary father also returns and causes more trouble.

The reviewer says the new season is faster, darker and more emotional than before.

New viewers may find it difficult because the story depends on earlier seasons.
