Every Monday, the q screen panel looks at big stories happening in the film and television worlds. This week, entertainment writer John Semley and CBC's Amanda Parris talk about David Letterman's new show and the Street Legal reboot. They also discuss the revival of the popular 1990s sitcom Roseanne, which is facing some criticism for being too political, given that actor Roseanne Barr and the character she plays on the show openly support U.S. President Donald Trump.
