Hello, everyone, and welcome to Decoding TV, a podcast about television. I'm David Chen.

Joining me as usual is Patrick Leppick. Patrick, this is our first intercontinental broadcast together.

How's it going today? Well, I'm awake. Are you?

For those who don't know, my wife and I have recently pulled up stakes from Seattle, Washington.

We are spending a significant amount of time in Europe over the course the next few months.

And for now, I am living in Portugal for the foreseeable future.

So that's what is going on.

That's what I've been preparing for.

That's why I've been frantically running around like a chicken with his head cut off for the last few weeks.

But we hope folks have enjoyed all the bonus episodes that have come out,

including for Task and Gen V and Slow Horses and Love is Blind Season 9,

all the stuff that we've been talking about over the course the last few weeks.

We hope you've had a good time with.

But yeah, Patrick, I'm now broadcasting from Portugal.

The internet is actually way better here than it was back in ironically.

Better internet, less fascism.

You know, what's not to like?

100% is something you should consider, for those reasons alone.

But today on the podcast, we are going to be having our first proper decoding TV episode in the last few weeks.

And we are going to be kicking off our coverage of Vince Gilgans Pluribus, which is airing right now on Apple TV Plus.

We'll be covering the first two episodes today and then recapping and reviewing the show weekly, which we anticipate will take us through the end of the year for decoding TV.

So you can expect weekly coverage of Pluribus through the end of 2025.
