He is clearly not lazy, not at all, about the stuff that matters to him. “Obviously there are things I would need to check, and I would go out and do that.” At this point I look at him as if he’s just told me he gathers information by examining the entrails of birds. I don’t like having to learn new things, I’m too lazy,” he says.
He’s still buying CDs (there’s a soaring Gavin Bryars choral work playing on the stereo) and at one point he produces his mobile, which, like the vast Toshiba laptop enthroned on a side table, seems suspiciously elderly. The other immediate impression given by his home is of – how shall I put it? – antiquity. An episode that felt more rewarding than expected.W ere it not for the packed bookshelves – everything from Len Deighton to the complete Philip Larkin – you could almost imagine the novelist Mick Herron’s flat as a safe house, plain and modest as it is, tucked away in a rather anonymous modern block in Oxford. I was worried that the drama would come out as well as the first season, but it was pretty good. In the midst of the tumult over the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this material seems quite timely. It was fine except for the fact that the directing of the facility when bringing in the hard was far from Slough House. The calm before the storm? Eye of the storm? Anyway, that the shattered peace began to make a terrible sound when the glass was scratched. The gloomy first chase scene was especially good in the heat, while the strange currents that flowed through Cicada between Reaver and other Cold War-era agents who seemed overly peaceful were the best.
And looking at Gary's performance, it seems that the old woman has already secretly eaten the wolf and is knitting, waiting for Little Red Riding Hood River through her thick glasses. Sorry for Gary Oldman, Jackson Lamb looks like the grandma from Little Red Riding Hood. Other characters are swayed here and there by the volatile love situations that are unfolding, but Jackson Lamb, who has seized the initiative, is just being picky on his own. Urgent situations come rushing in, but thanks to the actors who play the role of slowness, spying feels like a tight push-and-pull with a girlfriend. Outside, it's full of serious business and it's still raining. When Jackson Lamb gets motivated, Slough House takes on a much brighter atmosphere compared to the first season.
