About this episode
AppleTV+'s latest very polished drama, Criminal Record , is about race and corruption in London's Metropolitan police force; Brandi Brown takes a break from cozy mysteries to discuss whether this copperganda is worth watching. Around The Dial takes us through Grimsburg , Julia , The Gilded Age (including a Tiny Triumph from Brandi), Break Point , and The Bob Newhart Show . Past guest Ilan pitches Shoresy 's "Players Wanted" for induction into The Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time about screens big and small. Make yourself a nice cup of tea and join us!
