A dysfunctional team of MI5 agents navigate the espionage world's smoke and mirrors to defend the UK from sinister forces.
Start with the closest match, then check out two more shows with a similar feel, pace, mood, or theme.
Follows London Detective Hana Li, whose investigations lead her into the world of National Security.
Red Eye delivers the same kind of tight, clue-focused suspense as Slow Horses, where small revelations change how you read every earlier scene. The London detective case escalates into airborne national-security danger, and the pacing stays propulsive instead of office-bound.
After ex-soldier Shaun Emery's (Turner) conviction for a murder in Afghanistan is overturned due to flawed video evidence, he returns home a free man to his young daughter. But when CCTV footage from a night out in London comes to light, Shaun's life takes a shocking turn and he must soon fight for his freedom once again. With DI Rachel Carey (Grainger) drafted in to investigate Shaun's case, she quickly learns that the truth can sometimes be a matter of perspective. Should she trust Shaun Emery?
The Capture keeps Slow Horses fans busy with cerebral crime tension, where surveillance footage becomes a weapon and every detail can be questioned. British casework stays sharp and procedural, with danger rising from uncertainty and institutional power feeling as unreliable as any individual.
Patience catalogues evidence in the Yorkshire Police records department. A brilliant self-taught criminologist with keen crime scene instincts, her talent is spotted by Metcalf, opening new worlds for the archivist.
Patience shares Slow Horses’ pleasure in watching competence fight through bureaucracy, with quiet scenes of evidence handling and careful decisions under pressure. The police hierarchy and credential friction build tension slowly, trading spy-office chaos for a more methodical, underdog climb.
