'Slow Horses' Season 5 Finale: Checkmate!
Our threat levels were critical, but they've been neutralized, because we're just that good and you know it. And we're never leaving Slough House. Hey, just like River!Chris is back this week with Bankole and Angel for the rollercoaster finale of 'Slow Horses' Season 5 on Apple TV, and together the squad tries to figure out what this new resolution might mean for the show going forward, while celebrating Diana's takeover finally landing.After Chris gives his debrief on the London Film Festival, they start by marveling at the truth behind Lamb's story from episode 3 (11:34), before quickly addressing both the competence and significance of the dissidents' plan for retribution (16:04). They also call River out for projecting and applaud for Claude for managing to somehow fail upwards into survival, which is as hilarious as it is surprising.Additionally, they dive into a discussion on whether the show wants us to believe River is competent (32:13) and why Claude never stood a chance against Lamb (37:12), as well as how the book handled the events of the episode — and season — a bit differently (47:18), after which they share some fun recommendations and their expectations for the already high-octane sixth season of the show (50:30).You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Chris' London Film Festival Highlights!Chris' take on 'The Secret Agent'.Chris full 'Sentimental Value' review.Chris on the new 'Knives Out': 'Wake Up Dead Man'.Host: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chris and AngelProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
