Contains spoilers for 'The Sympathizer'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Sympathizer', a historical black comedy, has been captivating audiences with its offbeat plot and unpredictability.
The series opened in South Vietnam focusing on Captain (Hoa Xuande) and General (Toan Le), who were forced to flee the country following the fall of Saigon.
They now live in Los Angeles, adjusting to new life and culture while struggling to reclaim what they left behind.
When is 'The Sympathizer' Episode 5 releasing?
Four episodes of the series have been released so far, each raising the intrigue quotient.
'The Sympathizer' Episode 5 is titled 'All for One' and will be released next Sunday, May 12. Fans will be able to stream it on HBO Max from 9 pm ET onwards.
The first three episodes were directed by Park Chan-wook followed by Fernando Meirelles taking over Episode 4.
The fifth episode will be helmed by Marc Munden, an English filmmaker known for 'Utopia' and 'National Treasure'.
What to expect in 'The Sympathizer' Episode 5?
'The Sympathizer' Episode 4 went a little off the rails with Captain taking up a new job as a cultural consultant on a Hollywood project.
Though his adventures in Hollywood concluded by the end of the episode, viewers were left with little room for speculation about the next episode.
Nevertheless, it's reasonable to assume that Captain would reunite with General and chase new intelligence.
At the beginning of Episode 4, General briefly mentions his plan of reclaiming their homeland, indicating that he will share more details after Captain returns from his Hollywood adventures.
In the upcoming episode, viewers are likely to discover General's new plan against North Vietnam, while also witnessing Captain's continued pursuit of his role as a spy, aiming to leak intelligence to the Viet Cong.
'The Sympathizer' is available to stream on HBO Max.
