What, exactly, has endeared so many to this show?
Lets run it down:
1.
Theres a reason so many sitcoms and sketch shows have catchphrases or running gags, after all.
Most impressively, the show does this without undercutting the humor.
Some shows, though, are designed for brevity, and this sure is one of those.
Six episodes always feels right to adapt each of Herrons books.
That never happens withSlow Horses.
Season Two premiered only seven months after Season One ended.
The first episode ofSlow HorsesSeason Four premieres Sept. 4 on Apple TV+, with additional episodes releasing weekly.
Ive seen all six episodes.
