Exploring 'Slow Horses': Awards, Intrigues, and Character Dynamics

Jo and Rob dance around danger to recap the third episode of ‘Slow Horses’ Season 4. They open with a few more listener emails before discussing the dark backstory of Frank Harkness, the dynamic between Standish and David Cartwright, and why the blissfully ignorant Giti is quickly becoming one of the show’s most delightful characters (2:06). Along the way, they theorize about what’s going on with the mysterious J.K. Coe and how Bad Sam Chapman’s role in the story has grown season to season (29:42). Later, they introduce a brand-new segment called Spy Vs. Spy, where they point out some of the best (and worst) examples of spycraft in this week’s episode (42:32).
