What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf moves briskly between covert intelligence work and sudden combat, with firefights, chases, and escapes punctuating a continuous story of deception. Military bases, desert outposts, mountain terrain, and crowded cities give the missions varied settings without softening the hard-edged tone. The violence is adult, and getting out alive does not settle the question of who can be trusted.

Ben Edwards and his CIA handler form a mentor-protege bond that becomes harder to sustain as their work turns morally murky. Loyalty has to survive both betrayal and the choices made on missions, while revenge pushes the story forward. Their relationship gives the action a more personal cost: trust in a colleague can clash with doubts about what the job demands.

Apple TV • Sep 16, 2026
CrimeDrama

Slough House is a dumping ground for members of the intelligence service who've screwed up: left a service file on a train, blown a surveillance, or become drunkenly unreliable. They're the service's poor relations. The slow horses and most bitter among them is River Cartwright, whose days are spent transcribing mobile-phone conversations. But when a young man is abducted, and his kidnappers threaten to behead him live on the Internet, River sees an opportunity to redeem himself. But is the victim who he first appears to be? And what's the kidnappers' connection with a disgraced journalist? As the clock ticks on the execution, River finds that everyone involved has their own agenda.
