When does journalism become entertainment… and when does the pursuit of justice cross the line?

This week on TV Reload, Ben Norris and Brose Avard take a dark and fascinating dive into PRIMETIME, starring Robert Pattinson.

Inspired by the cultural phenomenon To Catch a Predator, the film explores the disturbing intersection of true crime, television ratings, celebrity and the ethics of turning real people's darkest moments into must-watch entertainment.

🎥 In this week's episode, we unpack:

🔴 Robert Pattinson's compelling performance and the complicated figure at the centre of the story.

🔴 The blurred lines between investigative journalism, public humiliation and entertainment.

🔴 Whether exposing wrongdoing on national television is genuinely about justice — or chasing ratings.

🔴 The film's unsettling cinematography, claustrophobic atmosphere and standout performances.

🔴 Our own fascination with true crime and why audiences can't seem to look away.

Was television exposing predators, or exploiting them for entertainment? And can both things be true?
