I'm not sure how "Slow Horses" has flown (galloped?) under the radar so long, but it's finally poised to break out into the mainstream. This year's Emmys rewarded it with five nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series.

Season 4 ups the ante, opening with a literal bang —a bombing that explodes long-buried secrets at MI5. Those secrets involve Slough House agent River Cartwright’s (Jack Lowden) grandfather, declining MI5 legend David Cartwright (Jonathan Pryce). As River’s boss, the always-disheveled but sharp-minded Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), digs into the mystery, he comes across Frank Harkness (Hugo Weaving). their most dangerous antagonist yet.

‘Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist’ (Peacock)

One of the most significant cultural moments of the past half-century is the setting for this heist miniseries. On the night of October 26, 1970, Muhammad Ali returns to boxing after a four-year suspension for refusing to enter the Vietnam War draft. But the drama isn’t limited to the ring.

Elsewhere in Atlanta, as affluent fans gather for an exclusive after-party at a lux mansion, a group of armed men show up to rob them of their cash at jewelry. The police quickly point the finger at Gordon "Chicken Man" Williams (Kevin Hart), but he’s hellbent on clearing his name. First, he’ll have to convince his old adversary J.D. Hudson (Don Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in the city’s desegregated police force.
