Explicații TMDb: River Cartwright is ousted from MI5 and finds himself in a place worse than purgatory: Slough House, dumping ground for failed spies.
Explicații Wikipedia: After a serious mistake, caused by a colleague but blamed on him, during a live training exercise at Stansted Airport, MI5 agent River Cartwright is demoted to dead-end work at Slough House, a tranche of MI5 reserved for the agency's screw-ups, headed by the alcoholic and impersonable Jackson Lamb. Lamb assigns River to carry out surveillance on Robert Hobden, a journalist associated with far-right politicians Peter Judd and Roger Simmonds. River discovers that his colleague and officemate Sidonie "Sid" Baker has also been assigned to Hobden, discreetly copying the contents of his USB flash drive in a café. River is then instructed to deliver the drive to the service's headquarters at Regent's Park, much to his surprise.
Hobden makes a series of calls to journalist colleagues alleging he has information that an "attack is imminent". River visits his grandfather, who reveals Hobden was blacklisted when his name appeared on a leaked donor list of the British Patriotic Party, and blamed MI5 for his troubles. He warns River that if MI5 are using Slough House to look into Hobden, it is because there is risk and they want plausible deniability. Lamb's long-suffering assistant Catherine Standish attends an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. British-Pakistani student Hassan Ahmed is kidnapped by the far-right group Sons of Albion, who announce they will behead him on livestream at sunrise the following day. River breaks rank and leaves Slough House to further investigate.
