The Misinvestigations of Romesh Ranganathan: Season 2, Episode 1

2 - 1: The Murder of Tupac Shakur

Romesh heads to the US, channelling his exacting incompetence into the death of rapper Tupac Shakur.

Tupac was a trailblazing rapper who delivered a unique mix of gangster rap, poetry and social commentary. In a short but blistering career, he angered politicians and dominated the charts, even dating the queen of pop Madonna herself as he catapulted himself from the streets of South Central LA to global fame. His shooting, after a Mike Tyson fight in September 1996 in Las Vegas, shocked the world; he died six days later at the age of just 25. Despite multiple leads being explored at the time, nobody has ever been convicted of his murder.

Step forward Romesh Ranganathan – a comedian with no experience of criminal investigations whatsoever – who is going to attempt to crack the case once and for all.
