Hello, welcome back to the prestige TV podcast feed. I'm Jordan Robinson. I'm Rob Mahoney.

0:18.1

And we're here to cover Slow Horses Season 5. Rob, TV. It's here.

0:26.0

It is truly here. I'm thrilled to be back. And I will say, I think Slow Horses is thrilled to be back, too.

0:31.4

It's a real, like, let's get back to basics kind of set up for this season that I am incredibly excited about.

0:59.1

So we're going to talk about the season five premieres. We haven't watched that yet. Please go watch it and come back. Season 5 episode one, bad dates, which made me think of Indiana Jones. I don't know how you feel about that phrase. But so we will be talking about that. We also have some slightly broader context about this season, about the book it's based on. No spoilers, though. Neither of us have read the book that it's based on. Neither of us have watched ahead. Of course, we're watching week to week.

But I did sort of ferret out some context that might be helpful in helping us process

1:49.1

I don't know.

1:51.5

We will be, I'll be watching the pilot, obviously, and then whatever, you know, episode

1:57.5

we've asked our listeners to sort of give us some ideas of what a good

2:01.5

hooked episode would be. We're going to have a guest who's going to have an opinion about what a

2:04.7

good episode might be. This will just be like a toe dip into the world of the Sopranos. But as you've

2:10.7
