**Down Cemetery Road: A Fresh British Crime Drama on Apple TV**
With the wrap-up of *Slow Horses* season five, Apple TV is keen to keep the momentum of its British crime drama lineup. The newest installment in its collection is *Down Cemetery Road*, which debuts today with a two-episode premiere. This series is adapted from the novel of the same title and guarantees to present a thrilling plot filled with suspense.
Featuring Ruth Wilson and Emma Thompson, *Down Cemetery Road* centers on the investigation into the puzzling disappearance of a girl after an unexplainable explosion in a house. Wilson plays Sarah, a worried neighbor who turns to private investigator Zoe Boehm, portrayed by Thompson, to help solve the mystery.
The series embodies the classic British appeal, merging humor and wit with its more serious themes, reminiscent of *Slow Horses*. Filming took place in the charming locales of Bristol, Somerset, and Oxford, contributing to the show’s genuine British feel.
The first two episodes are now available for streaming for Apple TV subscribers. New subscribers can enjoy a seven-day free trial to check out the series. After the premiere, the remaining six episodes of the eight-part season will be released weekly, with fresh episodes debuting every Wednesday until the season finale on December 10.
Initial critical feedback for *Down Cemetery Road* has been mostly favorable, with reviewers commending the lively performances of Wilson and Thompson. The source material predates the *Slow Horses* series, and if the show achieves considerable popularity, it might pave the way for more adaptations of Zoe Boehm’s escapades.
*Slow Horses* has already established itself as a major success for Apple TV, earning praise from both fans and critics alike. The fifth season has just concluded, finishing with a sneak peek at the sixth season, which has been filmed, while a seventh season is also in development.
As Apple TV continues to broaden its selection of British dramas, *Down Cemetery Road* emerges as a promising new installment that could engage viewers with its intriguing plot and impressive performances.
