Slow Horses Season 6, Episode 6 Review — ’Judgement Day’

This review contains full spoilers for Slow Horses Season 6, Episode 6, which is streaming on Apple TV now.

The Slow Horses always find themselves in dire situations in season finales. To that end, the closer of Season 6 is no different. They’re chased and hunted and shot at again and again. They scheme (well, Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb does) to save their behinds — remember, Moscow rules. Reece Nesmith (Lenny Rush) gets his hero moment, pulling off a Chekov’s harpoon. In a moment of stillness, River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) has it out with his dear old dad, Frank Harkness (Hugo Weaving), who might have a soft spot for his son after all. The mess with the Russians closes with Clayface Jane (MyAnna Buring) dead and MI5 handing over a fall guy that isn’t Sid Baker (Olivia Cooke, who shamefully only gets three seconds of distant screentime this episode).

And yet, even with the endless game of survival the agents play against their agitators, this finale doesn’t feel particularly novel for a series that has given us 11th-hour twists and feel-bad yet satisfying endings for its five prior seasons. Yes, it closed on a huge cliffhanger that sets Slow Horses up for Season 7 (due out next year — get those theories cranking about what, exactly, took River down), but it was all just a little too clean and conventional in a show that has typically embraced the mess.

To neatly tie up all of the loose ends, the show had to make a few leaps.
