Apple TV’s British spy series “Slow Horses,” which is based on the books by Mick Herron, has it share of tense standoffs, nail-biting chases and characters being put in jeopardy, but it also has a healthy dose of humor.
Series lead Gary Oldman and director Will Smith sat down with TheWrap to explain how they approach the show, especially Oldman’s deliberately unkempt character, Jackson Lamb, in a new installment of TheWrap’s “How I Did It” sponsored by Apple TV+. As Oldman says, Lamb, a veteran MI5 spy who’s been relegated to the backwaters of Slough House, “doesn’t stand on ceremony.”
