I’ve seen the new series of this 98%-rated Apple TV show in Dolby Vision HDR – here’s why you need to catch up before it starts

A man (Gary Oldman playing the character of Jackson Lamb) sitting at a table by the window in a cafe. He has a full English breakfast on a plate in front of him and is holding a mobile phone to his right ear.

The Studio and Severance might have swept up all the awards at the Emmys recently, but if there’s one series worth subscribing to Apple TV+ for I reckon there’s a good case to be made for Slow Horses, which returns for a fifth series on 24th September.

The dawdling nags of the title are a team of demoted MI5 agents, quietly exiled to a messy office above a greasy spoon cafe on the edge of London’s Square Mile, where they continue to toil away on the margins of the British intelligence service. If James Bond is the MVP of spying, this lot aren’t even warming the bench.
