In this week’s episode of Culture Bites, hosts Enas Refaei and Maan Jalal discuss the up-and-coming true crime genre in the Arab world with the release of the docuseries, Dark Minds.

The show details some of the most heinous murders from across the region, featuring interviews and dramatic re-enactments. Enas shares a glimpse of the episode she started watching and Maan steers the conversation towards criticism of the over-sensationalist true crime genre.

In the wake of actress Shannen Doherty’s passing, the hosts look back at the legacy of the Beverly Hills, 90210 era and the iconic brand of American teen dramas that left its mark on an entire generation. Doherty, who played the iconic Brenda Walsh on the show in the 1990s, died aged 53 after battling cancer for years.

Finally, Maan and Enas look ahead to the Editions art fair that will take place in Dubai in November this year. In an effort to draw art enthusiasts with a range of budgets, the new exhibit from Art Group Dubai will focus on editioned art such as prints or replicas made from a master.

Finally, don’t miss the hosts’ recommendations. This week Enas suggests a show with much intensity and Maan is reading a first-person novel with a lot of character.
