The gags are still there but the satire's more biting. The privatization of a secret service op and the manipulation of news is relevant and horribly credible.-Ann Cleeves, author of the Vera Stanhope seriesAt Slough House-MI5s London depository for demoted spies-Brexit has taken a toll. The slow horses have been pushed further into the cold, Slough House has been erased from official records, and its members are dying in unusual circumstances, at an unusual clip.
