Slow Horses is terrific TV. Plenty of action, good script, good characters well portrayed, black humour, interesting locations etc. Well worth watching. Best to mute the sound during the titles though, beginning and end, because the title music is godawful. At first I thought it was some young herbert channeling Mick Jagger (badly), but then I realised it was actually ol’ Mick himself. Hell’s bells..
I suppose Apple’s marketing bods thought, what with the way they were going to hype it, it would be good to have a Star sing the title song. Someone of standing, like Mick Jagger f’rinstance. Unfortunately, the end result is not exactly Mick’s finest hour. Far from it. His voice is all over the place. It sounds to me like he knocked it off quick, grabbed the cheque and scarpered. He must have known it was below par but he obviously didn’t care. The song is rubbish anyway, mind you. Not sure who else could have turned it into something decent.
