Thu 25 Mar 2010, 7pm
Loveable Murders Unclassified 15+
With Martyn Pedler
From Watchmen's creepy Rorschach to gruff ol' Tony Soprano and everyone's favourite heroic torturer, 24's Jack Bauer, we look at how it is that the Dexters of popular culture make us overlook their obvious psychological deficiencies and love them.

Thu 29 April 2010, 7pm
On The Wire Unclassified 15+
With Michael Williams
Gritty crime drama is something few, if any of us, has experienced - but is it realistic? The Wire has a reputation as being one of the most realistic shows on TV, primarily because its creators, David Simon and Ed Burns, have been there and done that.


Thu 27 May 2010, 7pm
Mad Men - Mad Women Unclassified 15+
With Sian Prior
Mad Men ties into our love of all things retro but beneath the luxury of Mad Men's Manhattan lie uncomfortable questions about race, gender, prejudice, and social inequality and a sense that these people are not just characters of some hazy past but the world we live in now.
