Rated Slow Horses - Season 1 8/10

A very well done spy thriller. The main reason to watch is Gary Oldman, his character alone is worth the cost of admission. The rest of the main characters are quirky enough to make you like them. The basic plot is a bunch of "failed" MI5 agents, band together to stop a terrorist attack. The one thing I didn't like is that so many of the "good guys" are as evil and corrupt as the terrorists they are trying to take down. 6 episodes per season is the perfect length. Enough episodes to tell a full story, but no need to put in useless filler material to pad the story out. If they can keep the quality up in later seasons, this could become one of my favorite spy thrillers.
