bellend Roddy (Christopher Chung) chafes against new recruit Shirley Dander (a delightfully salty Aimee-Ffion Edwards) office fuck-buddies Louisa (Rosalind Eleazar) and Min (Dustin Demri-Burns) are seconded for a security gig involving a Russian politician and golden boy River ( Jack Lowden) doggedly pursues his own lead by going undercover in a sleepy Cotswold village. Lamb, determined to unpick Dickie’s murder, sniffs out old contacts, assisted by Saskia Reeves’ long-suffering office manager I.T. What follows is a reasonably faithful retelling of Herron’s second Slough House novel, Dead Lions - a knottier, more layered story than his Slow Horses debut, that splits our hapless heroes into four separate yet connected strands. The show seamlessly threads the tonal needle through moments of absurdity and instances of profound sadness.
