We have a very special episode featuring The UK's Premier Film Critic - Mark Kermode! Dave, Tom and Kobi enjoy a #Spoiler filled podcast chat to The Good Dr all about the greatest TV show in the world! That is, of course, The Wire!

Mark famously didn't watch TV, that was until the pandemic happened and everything changed! He watched Breaking Bad first, and it proved to be a gateway drug to the best TV Show ever.
We hope you enjoy!
