What critics compared Slow Horses to
…takes a very grounded approach, following in the tradition of shows like True Detective and Slow Horses…
It’s as much a True Detective and Slow Horses-style murder mystery as it is a superhero drama (and, in fact, features veterans of both shows among its creative team).
The pilot, directed by James Hawes (Slow Horses) does a nice job of dropping the viewer right into the middle of its fast-moving riddles…
…and “Slow Horses” (for its disreputable hero, I guess), with “Slow Horses” director James Hawes helming the first two episodes.
Shows like SLOW HORSES and BLACK DOVES are such big streaming hits that their spy thrillers get renewed as soon as a season drops.
It’s of a piece with the chaos the Slow Horses would have to clean up—a high compliment for contemporary spy fiction.
