Slow Horses

We don't have a show.

I'm excited because Slow Horses is coming back.

Slow Horses, Gregory Oldman.

Which I love, yeah.

Fantastic.

All right.

Today, what we are hoping to do is kind of talk about some of our burning questions ahead of season six of Slow Horses.

I'm pretty excited about this season, but there are also some questions out there.

And so I thought maybe we'd, based on the trailer that we saw and some additional things and looking at the books, maybe we can kind of piece together what they may be going for here, what we can expect and what we might expect not to see.

Yeah, well, that's actually interesting to bring up right now because we're going to have to see a pretty serious recalibration of Slow Horse's books to combine these two that they're doing for Season 6.

So that's a good point, thinking about how Down Cemetery Road already did a fairly drastic adaptation, changing a lot of stuff and going from page to screen.

Yeah, and I think that's the interesting thing now is we had to start out, I would say, the first four seasons were faithful to a fault kind of adaptations of the first four books of Slow Horses.

And the fifth season, we saw a little bit of a, you know, starting to kind of crack different areas in the road there and go down some different avenues.

All the details for those films will be up at newstalkzb.co.nz. And if you just cannot be bothered, leaving the comfort of your couch, you want to stay in your dressing gown all weekend, This is famously, of course, a no-judgment zone on Saturday mornings.

We have some recommendations after 10 o'clock for screen time picks, shows that you're going to love, including the brand new season of Slow Horses.

I love Slow Horses.

Absolutely love it.

So really, really looking forward to hearing just a little bit about the new season of Slow Horses as that drops this week.

Right now it's quarter to 10.

Nadia Lim's here next with her recipe for the week.

Jack, why couldn't they design AI to lead us to the Jetsons future rather than the Terminator future? Yeah, oh, where? 92, 92, if you want to send us a text this morning.

Wrap that shit up.

I will say, however, if for some miracle it's not Noah Wiley, I would not be surprised to see Gary Oldman because I just feel like Slow Horses seems to always win something.

And it's just about to premiere, by the way.

It's sixth season, which I'm hearing a lot of things about.

Okay, and Chris?

Sorry to elongate this, but I switched.

I am acting as Slow Horses.

And I have a few reasons why.

We don't have a show.

I'm excited because Slow Horses is coming back.

Slow Horses, Gregory Oldman.

Which I love, yeah.

Fantastic.

And then Silo, and there's a few other shows on Apple that do this.

I know Slow Horses has, like, so many seasons in a short span.

They do, yeah.

What do you guys prefer? Do you like more content regularly or do you like being drawn out and having to wait?

We've already mentioned a few good shows just on this short podcast so far that have been critically acclaimed, really popular.

Things like Silo, you just talked about it, Jordan.

We mentioned Severance, Slow Horses.

I'm going to mention one right now that I have been watching in the last few weeks.

And Carl, I could not be more excited.

A new season of Slow Horses.

Yeah, goody up.

The brilliant espionage thriller has returned for its season six this week.

The good news for you, Jack, is that this old horse does not need to be sent to the glue factory.

There is a lot of life left in the show.

For people that haven't seen it, it's about a bunch of washed up MI5 agents assigned to Slough House, which is sort of a dead-end department in MI5, an out-of-sight, out-of-mind type situation.

Nevertheless, they keep getting pulled into these cases, which are typically a season long.

There's so much stuff to watch at the moment.

I've watched all of the last Slow Horses, because a new one starts next week.

I've watched all of Reacher.

well you're up to date with Richie yeah

Yeah, I think I've got that on my watch list from before.

I'm waiting to do an Apple TV subscription probably over Christmas.

Slow horses time soon.

Yeah, it's
