While most series follow "what should be" or at least "what I would like to be" this series is possibly "what was". There's drama and comedy that don't make sense for the first two cases, but actually follow "what was". Based on the cell phones and hard case files, this might've been a real scenario in...2007?
Only done season one and can't care enough about the characters to go for season two. The opening scene was compelling, but then it's all a ruse? Then we have a real case with a psychopath, but we're making joke about agents running the wrong way?
And really, our psychopath never really completes his line. He's essentially revealed as a player in the spook world in episode three, but then played as a psychopath until the end? Each play should've furthered either an alternate agenda or a criminally deranged mind, but we have to infer the latter.
There's a few parting shots interspersed throughout the series about the relative station of the Slough Houses (aka Slow Horses), but not enough to care either way. You're not really rooting for them, but not really against them either, so...meh?
