In the Divine Comedy, Dante goes down the circles of Hell meeting the world’s most illustrious sinners. 700 years after his death, this series explores the contemporary meaning of the seven cardinal sins.

In this episode we explore envy in the age of social media. At a time when we are constantly surrounded by everyone else’s seemingly perfect lives, are we becoming more envious than ever before? If so, could we actually be using this envy to our advantage?
