Down Cemetery Road is great stuff. There is not a wasted moment, not a wasted word. Everything is there for a reason.
Oct 29, 2025
Between the fantastic and tightly written scripts to the tension-building and suspense, Down Cemetery Road is a series you won’t want to miss.
Oct 29, 2025
While Ruth Wilson’s Sarah may be the way you’re drawn into this adventure, Emma Thompson’s delightfully acerbic Zoë Boehm is the reason to stay.

If there are more shows like this coming down the pike—thrillers with heavy doses of humor, generally fantastic casting (Wilson, it’s worth noting, gives a very good and tricky star performance here), a sizable budget, and some smart narrative decisions (more refreshingly abrupt, life-goes-on endings like this one, please)—viewers should consider themselves pretty lucky.

At eight episodes, “Down Cemetery Road” lacks the drum-tight concision that makes “Slow Horses” such an addictive watch. But the show shares enough positive qualities with its predecessor, from a mordant wit to some riveting action once things heat up, that “Slow Horses” fans will find plenty to tide them over between seasons.

A cat-and-mouse game that has a light touch and is tonally off in places — but Thompson and Wilson manage to steer this into compelling viewing territory.

Rote, mushy mess, whose story is bloated, conspiracy is deflating, and rah-rah feminism is corny—a trifecta that turns it into an exercise in excruciating unoriginality.

Ah look, I tried to like this. It started very promising. Good premise. Good start. I really l wanted to like it, but I just hated the characters. They were very annoying. Trying to be funny, but not. Like the cool kids at school too caught up in, and swept away by, the idea of themselves to realise that every classic line (that only they are laughing at) is in fact landing like a turd on a pizza delivered too late and too cold by a sad clown with filthy fingernails, who has wet his own underpants and now wants to play with the kids to fill them with his sad loneliness and embarrassing jokes and smelly pants.
