Editor's P/S
As a fan of the show, I am thrilled about the upcoming release of Slow Horses Season 3. The first two seasons were incredibly well-done, and I can't wait to see what the writers have in store for us this time around. The show has a great cast, led by Gary Oldman, and the writing is always sharp and witty. I'm also excited to see how the show will continue to develop the characters and their relationships.
Overall, I think Slow Horses is one of the best spy dramas on TV right now, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre. I'm eagerly anticipating the release of Season 3 and can't wait to see what's next for the team at Slough House.
