Do TV crime dramas focus on female victims too often?

Audiences lap it up, but what does our fascination with glossy, high budget TV series, saturated with the corpses of unfortunate women, say about the society we live in and the way we view women? Actor Doon Mackichan examines the trend, speaking to criminal sociologist Ruth Penfold-Mounce and Variety's TV critic Sonia Saraiya.

First Broadcast on Body Count Rising, 6 October 2016.
