This review contains full spoilers for Slow Horses Season 6, Episode 3, which is streaming on Apple TV now.
For as apt a title as “Resurrection” is for this particular Slow Horses episode, it also kind of undersells the amount of resurrecting — literal and otherwise — within. It’s a trifecta: Of course, there’s Sid (Olivia Cooke), who was revealed to be alive at the end of the last episode. But then there’s Louisa Guy (Rosalind Eleazar), living a new plush life in the corporate world whose past life as a Slow Horse is unmercifully revived when Shirley Dander (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) and Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves) drag her out of a meeting. Lastly, there’s Moira (Joanna Scanlan), who might have actually been dead for a minute or two after the hit attempt by the murder twins (Kyle Soller and MyAnna Buring), springing back to life. “Resurrection” is a real doozy and an overall excellent Slow Horses episode that takes full advantage of all the plot-building groundwork this season has done thus far.
It kicks off with River’s (Jack Lowden) understandably bemused expression watching Sid prance around his grandfather’s kitchen as if almost nothing had happened. He asks all the same questions we as viewers have: How? Why? What the hell, man? But their conversation is cut short as the murderers — who apparently have names (rather, obvious aliases), Jim and Jane — pull up on the long driveway to cross off their next hit. It starts an episode-long cat-and-mouse game between the two pairs that makes space for fun banter (ie., how much a cow costs) and big developments to the grander season conspiracy (the murderers are Russian, some of Sid’s current story).
