Pulp Film

This week, we're tackling a big debate: what are the greatest TV shows of the 21st century?

The New York Times has put together its list of the best TV shows of the century so far, and we're going through the rankings to see what they got right, what they got wrong, and which shows have been criminally overlooked.

From modern masterpieces to controversial picks, we debate the shows that have defined the last 25 years and share our personal favourites.

We read out your emails, and of course end with a game!

This week, we’re reviewing THE SOCIAL RECKONING, Aaron Sorkin’s follow-up to The Social Network.

We break down the film, what worked for us, how it compares to its predecessor, and whether Sorkin has managed to recapture the magic of one of the defining films of the 21st century.

We also sit down with writer and director Aaron Sorkin to talk about returning to this world, bringing the story of Facebook into the modern era, and the challenges of following up The Social Network.
