What is season 5 about?
Season five adapts London Rules, the next novel in Mick Herron’s Slough House series. Apple’s synopsis begins with the team’s suspicion about resident tech specialist Roddy Ho and his glamorous new girlfriend. As increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, the Slow Horses try to work out how they are connected; Jackson Lamb invokes the “London Rules.” The official synopsis establishes the premise, not a full account of how the season’s plot resolves.
