Really enjoy this show and Oldman is such a fun actor. His character is so wonderful it makes the show a worthwhile watch on that point alone. Looking forward to starting S3 once I can binge it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Somehow, the Slow Horses continue to be plausible as both bumblers and authentic heroes, and this third TV season maintains the balance even more gracefully than the hugely charming previous installments.

Season Three adapts Herron’s novel Real Tigers, where Jackson Lamb — the filthy, flatulent, surprisingly tenacious head of Slough House, played with a hilarious lack of vanity by Gary Oldman — and his team appear to be collateral damage from a dirty piece of old MI-5 business.

He genuinely believes that River’s over-inflated ego is just as dangerous as the other Slow Horses’ issues — and this season in particular provides various entertaining pieces of evidence that take the boss’s side of this argument.

Much of the fun this time out involves the more respectable members of MI-5, as the search for this mysterious file kicks off a turf war between Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas) and her boss, Ingrid Tearney (Sophie Okonedo).

The elegance and quiet grace with which these two polished woman of power verbally slice each other up is delightful, and a pointed contrast to the loud and clumsy antics of the gang from Slough House.

Lamb is, of course, among the best there is at what he does, and this story joins Fargo Season Five by offering an adult variation on Kevin McCallister booby-trapping his house to foil the Wet Bandits in Home Alone.
