Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJackson Lamb absentmindedly calls Shirley Dander, "Shelby." Aimee-Ffion Edwards played Esme Shelby in Peaky Blinders (2013).
- GoofsAt 37.35, Dander mentions Stroud, Cotswolds. The Cotswolds is a range of hill, a district council and parliamentary area. Officers wouldn't need to elaborate on where a town was, and, if they did, the would say Stroud, Gloucestershire (the county in which it resides).

Featured review
This show is amazing
If you were worried about Slow Horses taking a more serious approach to its sophomore outing, you needn't be, as season 2 stomps out the gate with a cold-open that features a man restocking some discounted dildos in a sex shop right before he's killed on a replacement bus service. Not the typical polished and sophisticated spy-fare, but certainly on brand for Slough House's misfit MI5 agents. After the slick, wryly funny and realistically banal season 1, Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) and the rest of the country's least wanted sleuths are back for more misadventures. This time, it's the death of ex-agent Richard 'Dickie' Bow (Phil Davis) - the aforementioned sex-shop owner - that sparks the team into action, with growing concerns that he was entangled in an operation known as 'Cicadas' that involved sleeper agents dating back to when there was an Iron Curtain to hide behind. Alongside the unlikely and unwilling power couple that is Lamb and River, there's the returning faces of Louisa (Rosalind Eleazar) and Min (Dustin Demri-Burns) - now a proper couple -Roddy (Christopher Chung) - still an obnoxious and supreme Standish (Saskia Reeves), but also some new ones. Shirley (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) and Marcus (Kadiff Kirwan) aren't given too much to do in these first two episodes, but the show certainly hints that Edwards' Shirley is.much like River, a little too good for the punishment palace that is Slough House, and so hopefully they'll both develop more and become an integrated part of the team as the season continues. It is a shame that Olivia Cooke's Sid doesn't appear to be returning, but the already stellar ensemble will surely fill the gap. The show looks set to splinter off into different narrative strands throughout the rest of the season - River's dogged pursual of the bald man on the train, Jackson's investigation of Cicadas, and Min and Louisa's security detail for a possibly (RE: definitely) shady Russian businessman and Roddy - but hopefully head writer Will Smith (still not that one) can coalesce them into a tight knot by the finale. Still eschewing the traditional, with any luck Slow Horses will continue its blend of excitement with absurdity, banality with tension, and deliver a sophomore season that lives up to the high expectations set by the first. The visual delight of Gary Oldman in a bucket hat certainly suggests it might well do.
