Some people are drawn to shows for delicate plotting, intricate stories with emotional heft that fold back on themselves, revealing something magical. Some people are drawn to shows for the impeccable vibes, an ensemble that plays off each other to perfection creating an atmosphere you just want to wrap yourself in. Some people are drawn to shows for an enigmatic anti-hero, relishing the mix of delight and revulsion you get from feeling your heartstrings tugged by perhaps the worst person you know. Slow Horses checks every box. Season 4 proved this is a show that knows exactly what it is and understands how to run the formula in perpetuity without letting any element get stale.

What was the icon or totem for this fandom this year?
Take your pick of Gary Oldman one-liners but I'll go with — “Tell her she best interrogate me in a room with a window. I had lamb Bhuna earlier that’s gonna make its presence felt” What other spy show can build this much dialogue around flatulence?
Why you should join this fandom
Among the many things to like about Slow Horses is the quick turnaround and consistent release schedule. Apple TV+ has already released four seasons since the show premiered in April 2022. Season 5 has already finished production, the show has been renewed for season 6 and Gary Oldman has said he'd like to continue as long as he can. The best thing about Slow Horses is you know you're going to get more Slow Horses.
