Adapted from the “London Rules” entry in Mick Herron’s series of spy novels, season 5 begins with the dysfunctional agents placed under house arrest, with resident hacktivist Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung) implicated in a wave of criminal activity.

Concerned about diminishing returns? You needn’t worry. Advance reviews indicate the show is far from losing its luster. So, jump back in the saddle as our guide explains how to watch "Slow Horses” season 5 and stream the Apple TV Plus series from anywhere in the world.
