Story

Follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve as MI5's dumping ground for their career-ending mistakes. Going deeper into the credits under the "Camera Trainees" Alfie Oldman, son of Gary Oldman, can be seen.

This is a stylized Cold War spy ship in a modern setting

Graham Norton stars as Christina Scott Thomas/George Takei/Claudia Winkleman/Jamie Oliver/First Aid Kit (2022). Gary Oldman plays the perfect old spy, an MI5 spy left over from the Cold War (and relegated to Slough House) who still fights the shadows and sees real threats before anyone else.

- and it's a very satisfying watch

Another well-realized show that builds its immediate world with details of setting, character (and guile)—indispensable elements of good storytelling. If you're just considering this show now that season 2 is out, you should.

Highly recommended - Oldman and Christina Scott-Thomas are great, as are Jack Lowden and Saskia Reeves

do yourself a favor and binge season 1 first, it's a good yarn and will offer depth of character and situation to add to your enjoyment. Season 2 seems to have upped the game in terms of production design and cinematography – it has; s really paid off and elevated the show above the usual weekly episodic grind TV.
