Streaming TV: Slow Horses (Apple TV)

And so we reach the final offering, and it's this incredible adaptation of Mick Herron's novels.

This one has everything. Inspired casting (although Gary Oldman is not a good physical match for the obese Jackson Lamb, in all other respects he captures his cunning and seedy character perfectly), some great set pieces and a good cast of characters you can come to root for as the ultimate underdogs, it's a triumph. 

And that theme song! Superbly matched to the show's themes and with Mick Jagger's incomparable vocals!
