And he does it again playing a burned-out MI5 agent in an espionage dark comedy upcoming on Apple TV+. In "Slow Horses," a six-episode series that's based on the Mick Herron novel of the same name and premieres Friday, April 1, the Academy Award winner for the 2017 drama "Darkest Hour" fairly disappears into the skin of Jackson Lamb, the leader of a team of British intelligence agents at Slough House, a dumping ground of sorts for MI5 agents who have made career-ending mistakes. It's a department where they're expected to perform menial, paper- pushing tasks before they quit from sheer boredom. Chief among them is Cartwright (Jack Lowden, "Dunkirk"), whose botched training mission that resulted in a high-profile embarrassment for the agency opens the series. Others in the talented ensemble cast include Olivia Cooke ("Ready Player One"), Kristin Scott Thomas ("The English Patient") and Jonathan Pryce ("The Two Popes"). As Lamb, Oldman brings to life an unkempt, slovenly, chain-smoking curmudgeon who is none-too-happy about being the leader of this department of screw-ups, which he refers to as "M.I. f...ing useless." Graham Yost ("Justified," "Sneaky Pete"), an executive producer of the series, considers the hiring of the actor to be a case of inspired casting. "You know, it's one of the most fun characters ever written ...," Yost says. "He is Jackson Lamb. Not in real life. He's an actor. You know, he doesn't pass gas and yell at people and swear and smoke. You know, he's a fun guy who tells great stories and just loves being Jackson Lamb. And Jack is great. Everyone in the show, seeing the cast come together and then seeing these scenes on the feed, it was just an incredible joy." Indeed, assembling a cast that includes Oldman and Oscar nominees Thomas and Pryce for a TV series would have been unthinkable a decade ago. But in the era of peak TV, where the writing quality rivals that of film, such scenarios are becoming more and more commonplace. "It's sort of (a case of ) is it TV anymore? Kind of. Or is it just filmed entertainment? ..." Yost says. "So I think it's the changing landscape."
