Here’s how Apple summarizes the upcoming season:
> In the fifth season of “Slow Horses,” everyone grows suspicious when the resident tech genius Roddy Ho attracts the attention of a stunning new girlfriend. With a series of increasingly strange occurrences sweeping the city, it is up to the Slow Horses to decipher how everything intertwines. Indeed, Lamb understands that in the realm of espionage, the London Rules — always safeguard your back — hold true.
