Penn Badgley on playing a serial killer, responsible parenting and why he's gone off sex scenes

We’ve all been there – sat in front of the television, flicking through channels, getting increasingly frustrated – there’s so much on, but nothing to watch. TV critics Caroline Frost and Shem Law have you covered.

They watch it all, so you don’t have to.
