About the series

MI5's most unruly spies are back and under attack.

What it’s about

River Cartwright is sent to Slough House after a failed mission, joining other disgraced agents under Jackson Lamb. The unit performs dull tasks until a second chance draws them into a live operation.

What hooks you

Gary Oldman plays Jackson Lamb, the unit's obnoxious boss. The series won two Emmy Awards. It is based on novels, and one character in the books is clearly modeled on Boris Johnson, though the series softens the resemblance.

Who it’s for

It will appeal to those who like spy stories with irony and flawed characters, and to viewers who enjoy British settings and dark humour.
