Today Is A Huge Day for Apple TV Subscribers That Love Thrillers

by

Apple TV has become a popular choice for streaming, especially for science fiction lovers. It’s known for critically acclaimed shows like the Emmy-winning Severance, and it launched its original series with For All Mankind in 2019 – with more seasons and a spin-off on the way. While strong in sci-fi, Apple TV also offers excellent thriller series, and today is a particularly good day for fans of the genre.

Apple TV+ is known for its science fiction programs, but it’s also become a standout among streaming services with its compelling dramas. One of its biggest hits is Slow Horses, based on Mick Herron’s “Slough House” novels. Today, Apple TV+ released both the season finale of Slow Horses and the premiere of a new series for fans of the show starring Gary Oldman, with the first two episodes of Down Cemetery Road now available.

Apple TV Delivers for Thriller Fans With Two Shows

You might wonder why Apple TV is releasing the last episode of Slow Horses and the first episode of Down Cemetery Road on the same day, but there’s a connection that fans will find interesting. Mick Herron, the author of the Slow Horses novels, actually wrote a different series called Down Cemetery Road seven years earlier. Essentially, the creator of Slow Horses has another series that will likely appeal to fans who are finishing up the latest season and looking for something new.

Emma Thompson stars as Zoë Boehm, a private investigator who uncovers a large conspiracy when a house explodes in a peaceful Oxford neighborhood. The series has a similar feel to Slow Horses, but focuses on a different kind of mystery—one that doesn’t involve international spies. While both series are written by Mick Herron, and share a similar appealing style, they aren’t connected in terms of a shared universe. However, fans of Slow Horses will likely enjoy this series too.

Currently, “Down Cemetery Road” has a 75% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on a small number of reviews – eight in total, with six being positive. In comparison, the fifth season of “Slow Horses” boasts a 92% rating with 36 reviews. Even though “Down Cemetery Road’s” score is a bit lower, early reactions to the show are overwhelmingly positive. The Daily Telegraph praised it as “a thriller delivered with such confidence,” and Roger Ebert called it “powerfully entertaining.” Viewers who enjoy the latest season of “Slow Horses” can immediately start watching the first two episodes of “Down Cemetery Road.” And good news for “Slow Horses” fans – two more seasons are already planned.
