911: It took them somewhat longer than usual, but SkyWitness are finally airing the third season and having watched the first six episodes, this season has been pretty enjoyable so far. The first three episodes took in a natural disaster as Buck falling out with the station, nearly suing them and then getting his job back. We also had a rather timely episode concerning Athena's ex husband and of course, the Halloween episode took some interesting turns involving a flock of birds, Maddie getting involved in a domestic case and a body stuck in the front of a car. It's nice to see this show hasn't lost it's touch.
Big Brother: It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since the debut of this iconic reality show and one of the few I will watch on a near regular basis. Yup, a show that made and ruined several peoples careers, transitioned from Channel 4 to Channel 5 and now back to E4 for this Zoom fest of classic episodes as hosted by Davina McCall, Dermot O'Leary, Rylan Clark-Neal and Emma Willis. It's been fun seeing some of the past glories like Nasty Nick getting outed for his gaming tactics and so on. It also feels that maybe just maybe the waters are being tested again to eventually revive this series. Should it happen? I think it's very likely that it will.
Derry Girls: Yeah, I really did leave this one for the longest of times but with RTE1 finally airing this show, I no longer had any excuses. Three episodes in and I can see why there's so much hype for this show. It's genuinely funny and the 90's setting with the main characters - Erin, Michelle, Claire, Orla and the wee English lad James definitely hits the right level of nostalgia as well. So far, we've seen nuns dying after reading Erin's diary, the lot of them getting banned from the chippers and of course, the not miracle surrounding Toto. I can only hope that RTE1 don't delay airing Series 2.
The Politician: Another day, another Ryan Murphy show and one I needed to catch up with as Netflix already have released the second season and the third will be it's last one. Binging the first five episodes of Season 1, the show isn't perfect, tonally doesn't feel that different to Glee and has a very polarising set of characters, especially with it's main protagonist Payton Hobart (and a disappointing shortlived romance with River) but I'm also enjoying the larger than life moments in this series, even if all the main characters look too old to be running for a school election.
