Gary Oldman’s Slow Horses Ended TV’s Most Problematic Trend

“Slow Horses” is a British spy thriller that premiered on Apple TV in 2022. Based on Mick Herron’s “Slough House” novels, the show features Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb, the boss of a group of MI5 agents who haven’t quite lived up to expectations. The series has been critically praised and received numerous award nominations. However, it’s also quietly ended a frustrating trend in television.
