In this episode of Decoding TV, David Chen and Patrick Klepek run down what’s going on in the world of TV. Then, @joyofnapping joins the podcast to discuss what they thought of the season 4 premiere of Slow Horses.

Was HBO’s statement about George R R Martin’s blog post a big deal or not? Why are fans having so much difficulty drawing boundaries between artists and the characters they play?
