Slow Horses star on how “big loss” in finale will impact season 5
As a seasoned gamer of spy dramas, having navigated through countless twists and turns, I must say that the finale of Slow Horses season 4 was a rollercoaster ride. The departure of Marcus Longridge, one of the series’ mainstays since season 2, felt like a gut-punch reminiscent of Min Harper’s untimely demise in season 2.
Slow Horses season 4 finale spoilers follow.
Actress Saskia Reeves, who plays a key role in the series “Slow Horses”, discusses how the significant event at the end of season 4 will shape the narrative for season 5.
In the latest broadcast, we sadly bid farewell to Marcus Longridge, played by Kadiff Kirwan, a significant character on the series since its second season.
In a conversation with Digital Spy, Reeves (portraying Catherine Standish) likened a particular scene’s emotional impact to that of Min Harper’s demise, as played by Dustin Demri-Burns.
She stated that it was clear to everyone that we were going to experience a significant setback after four rounds, just as we did following round two with Min.
“It adds another layer of excitement since you never know which characters might make it through. Plus, fresh faces join the cast, leaving us wondering how long they’ll stay. This setup gives the show an opportunity to collaborate with a variety of talented actors and intriguing personalities.
Reeves hinted that everyone would be significantly impacted by Marcus’s demise, with various far-reaching consequences.
“Ros has been deeply impacted by Min’s passing, an influence that will persist,” she observed. “The community at the Park can sense David’s dementia. It’s visible in how roles shift, how control is temporarily seized and relinquished, and the ripple effects of such transitions.
The fourth season of “Slow Horses” premiered last month, earning a flawless rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many reviewers believe the series is still performing exceptionally well and operating at an elite level.
In the glowing five-star review by Digital Spy, we commented: “Though the untimely loss of Min will always be a sorrow that lingers, and more heartache is to come in season four, this show, known for its deliberate pace, skillfully introduces new characters in a way that keeps us engaged, even as some beloved ones depart.
Slow Horses seasons 1-4 are streaming on Apple TV+.
