'Under the Bridge', 'Presumed Innocent' and our obsession with crime shows

The Drop

About this episode

Mel, Thomas and Meg discuss why we're so bloodthirsty for crime series and documentaries, and the genre's prestige glow-up. We discuss the ethics of the genre, why its attracting big name celebrities, and some of our favourite shows from recent years.

Plus, David Sedaris' New Yorker essay and Candice Carty-Williams' Queenie makes the jump to the screen.
