⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: MILD SPOILERS

Promotional poster for the TV series "Slow Horses" featuring stylized illustrations of two male characters, one with long hair and glasses, and the other with short hair, set against a textured teal background. The title "SLOW HORSES" is displayed at the bottom in bold, distressed white letters.

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐½ (3.5/5 stars)

Episodes: 6 | Aired: September 2025 – October 2025


Season Overview

I've just finished watching Season 5 of Slow Horses on Apple TV, with Gary Oldman delivering another stellar performance. The season was fairly average, not particularly memorable but not disappointing either. It would be intriguing to see a season focused on a younger Lamb and his fall to Slough House, providing a fresh narrative arc. My typical concerns with streaming series persist here: the six-episode format felt too brief, resembling a mini-series more than a traditional season. Moreover, the wait for the next installment could be lengthy, based on previous patterns.

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: MILD SPOILERS

Promotional poster for the TV series "Foundation" featuring a central female character reaching out towards the viewer, with two male characters in the background. The poster includes geometric shapes and a shattered glass effect, with the title "FOUNDATION" at the bottom.

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 stars)

Season: 3 | Aired: July 11, 2025 – September 12, 2025 Episodes: 1–10 Service/Network: Apple TV+

Season Overview

This season took the top spot, closely followed by the first. The second season didn't quite hit the mark. The plot twists this season were captivating, and I'm looking forward to what comes next. The characters this season displayed more complexity and depth. It was also fascinating to see the series weave in a secular version of a trinity concept to portray the governance of an empire, a bold move considering the author's reputed atheism.

Best Episodes

The best episode was undoubtedly the season finale, though the preceding three or four episodes were also quite strong.
