Hello, welcome back to the Prestige TV podcast feed. I'm Joanna Robinson and joining me today.

0:18.8

It feels like for the first time just the two of us in a very long time.

0:22.9

It's Rob Mahoney, back from the dead. Rob Mahoney, how are you doing? I'm doing well, Joe. I like to think that it's not just you and I. It's you and I and all the buzzy, buzzy bees out there. You know, we're really part of a larger hive. Fair enough. We're here to wrap up our spotty coverage of Slow Horses Season 5.

0:39.2

Sorry that we've been on again off again a bit this season. larger hive. Fair enough. We're here to wrap up our spotty coverage of slow horses

0:38.2

season five. Sorry that we've been on again off again a bit this season. There's a lot going on.

0:43.4

Yes. Please forgive me in particular. As you can probably hear and have heard, I have been on

0:48.7

the brink of death, but I am back. I have risen. Yeah. I mean, I simply could not be held down from talking about slow horses for that long.

0:56.1

It's true. It's true. Rob was like, Rob was very gracious about me doing the pod last week with someone else, but he's like, please, please, I want to do the finale. And of course, like, why would I want to do the finale with anyone else? You know what I'm not gracious about, though, Joe, that we waited, and I say we when I mean you, until I was gone, to have Alan

1:12.8

Seppinwall on the podcast, just extremely messed up.

1:15.9

Well, let's have Alan back and you can hang out.

1:20.1

One of the greats.

1:20.8

Alan was very gracious to come on last week for not just a chat about slow horses, but like

1:25.6

sort of a state of Apple TV Plus and stuff like that.

1:27.9

Great stuff because Alan is like an absolute legend in the best and really good to talk to.

1:32.1

But Rob, I've missed you.

1:33.4

I've missed talking to you about television.

1:36.0

So here we are to talk about wrap up slow horses.

1:38.8

Really quick programming reminders.

1:40.9

Rob and I are, so we're wrapping up slow horses today.

1:43.4

And then next week at the end of next week will be the beginning of Pluribus. We're just staying on Apple. We're staying in the Apple Orchard with everyone else. Pluribus is doing a two-episode premiere on November 7th, and this is the new show from Vince Gilligan. Rob, anything you want to say about Pluribus, like why we're covering it, why you're excited, anything like that. I mean, I just think the names Vince Gilligan and Ria Seahorn, we should also add, is just enough to basically get us to sign up for almost any show. But I have not dug into the episodes yet. I believe you have, Joe, seen the screener for Pluribus, right? Just the first episode, but we'll be covering two episodes on November 7th, so I still have one to watch, so. Good to keep a little ahead, but I mean, your initial, your initial excitement, it really did get me pumped about the show. I watched it just to sort of see if we wanted to cover it in the first place. Not that I doubt it would be great, but just sort of like to see. And then, and then I just thought it was amazing.

2:39.2

So I'm very, very excited about that. So we will be covering that week to week unless one of us
