flatulent

But Gary Oldman and “Slow Horses” finally made inroads with Emmy voters this year, and I can’t see how Oldman doesn’t grab the trophy for his portrayal of the foul-mouthed, flatulent, booze-soaked, greasy British intelligence officer Jackson Lamb.

In a career studded with brilliant work, his portrayal of the foul-mouthed, flatulent, booze-soaked veteran secret agent Jackson Lamb might be the best thing he has ever done.

His character, a slovenly, flatulent insult hurler leading a team of failed operatives, is, of course, more complex than that.

An aggressively flatulent vision of undarned socks, rumpled shirts and unspeakably greasy trench coat, Lamb is invariably surrounded by whiskey bottles and the moldering remnants of Chinese takeout.

Oldman has enjoyed a brilliant career, and the foul-mouthed, flatulent, booze-soaked veteran secret agent Jackson Lamb might be the best thing he has ever done.
