#306 Grotesquerie, Industry, and Showtrial

Author: Empire Magazine September 30, 2024 Duration: 1:44:18

It’s a crime special this week as not only do we delve into Ryan Murphy’s latest bowl of depravity in crime drama Grotesquerie on Disney+ but we also have Crime Monthly editor Steph Seelan standing in for Kay, who’s still on her meditation retreat (if you worked with James and Boyd, you’d need one too). And while we have Steph among us, we take the opportunity to delve into the best British crime shows and get her professional take. Elsewhere, we return to Pierpoint with Industry series 3, which finally makes its way to BBC1, and catch up with the second series of Showtrial, which does likewise.
