10 More Awesome TV Shows Nobody Is Watching

Gary Oldman noted just a few months back that he very much felt as though his time in the acting spotlight would likely come to an end once he was finished up playing the ever-drunk and unwaveringly ill-mannered Jackson Lamb in Apple TV+'s Slow Horses.

So, it's just a bit of a general shame that the first two seasons of MI5 misfits fumbling their way through missions and general life hasn't been given quite as much attention as a series equipped with this much damn talent and razorsharp writing is worthy of.

Critics have absolutely lapped up Oldman's persistently prickly showings as the veteran but very much over it leader of Slough House, alongside some also stellar performances given by the always reliable Olivia Cooke, Kristen Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden. But outside of the relatively small number of folks currently subscribed to Apple's streaming service, next to nobody is even aware of the world class work being done by Oldman and the rest of the rejected spy gang.

Simply put, if this is to be the end for the Oscar-winning legend, then you'd be a fool to not hop onto this particular espionage ride before it and its star gallop (or lazily trot) off into the distance for good.
