Episodes
Brands
Following the death of George Floyd and the surge in the Black Lives Matter movement, big brands made pledges to address diversity and racial inequalities across their businesses. Grime artist Saskilla speaks to black influencers about being flavour of the month for some brands. He speaks to insiders from a number of companies, including household brands, and looks at social media accounts before, during and after the BLM protests.
Football
In the wake of George Floyd's death and the growth of the Black Lives Matter movement, footballers across the nation took the knee and the governing body of English football, the Football Association, made a pledge on diversity and inclusion. Despite these actions, little appears to have changed in the world of football so far, with representation in the women's game appearing to be falling back over the years. Grime artist Saskilla speaks to Premier League footballers, coaches and managers across the UK for answers, and asks, is there a lost generation of black talent in the sport?
Music
The music industry reacted with a surge of outrage to the death of George Floyd. Artists and labels alike posted black squares on social media, standing in solidarity with people of colour.
Following #BlackoutTuesday, a social media campaign led by two black music executives, grime artist Saskilla asks what have music powerhouses done in the year that has followed, and have significant changes been made in the world of music?

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
