three boxed sets of 1970s-style comedy on the iplayer worth a laugh -

Top Coppers if you get past the weak pilot ep.

Cradle To Grave once you get past Peter Kays accent.

The Kennedys if you can get past Katherine Parkinson really just playing "Jen" from the IT crowd once again.

Just binge watched all of Master of None, Aziz Ansari's new show on Netflix. While not to same as his role in Parks and Rec, Aziz is still very enigmatic and likeable and the show's structure is refreshing and feels very contemporary. I recommend watching the first 3 episodes before deciding how you feel as it takes a while to settle in to its stride. ;)

Jessica Jones. pretty good so far, veers between a bluesy PI show and action superhero. It feels odd having the entire series to watch in one night the day after its release - how long to wait for the next season?

Ritter looks like shes just stepped out of the comic book. Awesome seeing Luke Cage in the flesh.

watching Mozart in The Jungle.

don't be put off by the debauchery infested first episode, its a red herring, this is really Smash! for Orchestra players with just a slice of raunch for good measure.

I am not sure why they so often make Pilots of tv shows so different from the rest of the show, it must put off a lot of viewers. Shame, because this is a pleasure to watch, and listen too, the music is gorgeous. And its better than Smash.

free on amazon right now ..until midnight!

I just finished watching series one of Mr Robot. It is really worth watching. I was hooked after watching one episode.
It has got Christian Salter. He did great acting. I can't wait for season 2.
