Slow Horses

The office lies. The measure is whether they still keep each other.

Season six, in Apple's own line, puts the Slow Horses on the run because Diana Taverner has dealt them into a retaliation. River is burying a grandfather. Lamb and Taverner end in the same unsafe house. The shape of the series, which this season does not reverse, is a group of discarded officers who are better than the office that discarded them, and worse company than a family should have to be.

The measure of this season is the revenge. A service that answers a wound with a game is not a republic, even when the people in the game are good at it. Watch for who is being spent. Do not come away quoting Lamb.

The eight

Industry
8/10
They were thrown out for incompetence and they still do the job. The craft survives the insult.
Household
6/10
Slough House is the only house some of them have. Lamb is cruel and he does not leave them.
Piety
4/10
No creed beyond the work. Loyalty is doing the duty of one.
Courage
7/10
They run, and they go back toward the people the service has spent.
Republic
6/10
The service is a state that lies to its own. They answer to each other when the office will not.
Temperance
5/10
Lamb's filth is the weather. It is not a style a house should pick up.
Truth
7/10
Taverner's game is named as retaliation. The season does not call a revenge a policy.
Stewardship
6/10
The safe house fails. What they are trying to keep is the people in it.

Live historicallyDo not call a retaliation a plan. Name the person it will cost before you start it.

Lanterns

The power is not the point. The dead in the town are.

Hal Jordan and John Stewart come to Rushville because a killing looks, to Hal, like it did not start on Earth. The season also looks back from a later year in which Hal himself is dead. The public frame is two men, one of them new, and a ring that makes force easy, set down in a town with a sheriff and a body. This measure does not name a killer the recaps do not agree on.

What is firm is the order of the goods. A weapon that can do anything is a temptation to skip the town. The season is worth the sitting if the town stays the point. If the ring becomes the point, the measure drops.

The eight

Industry
7/10
They have a job, and the job is a murder, not a sky.
Household
5/10
The public story is a partnership. A house is hinted in the childhoods and not yet the center.
Piety
5/10
The ring is an oath. Whether they keep it is the question the season is built to ask.
Courage
7/10
They stay in a small town that would rather they did not.
Republic
7/10
A dead person in Rushville is the case. The town is the people, not the backdrop.
Temperance
6/10
The ring could end the argument. The better hours are the ones where they do not.
Truth
6/10
A killing has a cause. The season, finished, is about whether they will say it.
Stewardship
6/10
What John does with the oath after Hal is the thing the last hours are for.
