Britain's MI5 has a Slow Horses department that employs underdog agents, including the boss.
In the first season of the series, the newly exiled excellent agent Cartwright gradually begins to realize that his service deliberately framed and exiled to the Horses for an offense he does not even know about. But a Pakistani Briton (student and stand-up) is kidnapped and threatened with execution with an online demonstration. Cartray, exhausted by idleness in the department, grabs the opportunity to rehabilitate if he manages to free the student and return to MI5. But gradually he realizes that it is not necessary to take up the release of the student, since MI5 has its own games.
The series is very dynamic, with pitfalls, irony and even looks like a parody of British intelligence. The quality is high.
Season two is even more interesting. Even more interesting is Dead Lions.
Season three is expected.
The third season of this series was the most interesting, dynamic and most implausible. Incredible and interesting.
Outlaws from MI5 were sentenced to physical destruction on a secret order from the head of the intelligence service. She decided to save her reputation. As always, without knowing it, the situation is saved by River Cartwright.
Anyone who has seen the first season will be happy.
