BOXSETS HAVE A lot to answer for, in our opinion.
Gone are the days when you used to have to hurry home for a date with your TV.
Long departed is the era when you had to anxiously wait week to week to find out what happened to your favourite character.
Now you can binge-watch a whole series over the weekend if you so choose.
Who needs a social life, eh?
To help you with your addiction, we’ve rounded up some more boxsets you should get your hands on.
Just don’t call us enablers, ok?
Scandinavian crime thrillers are all the rage and chances are if you’ve watched The Killing, either the Swedish or American version, then another dark, gritty, moody, rainy crime drama about three murdered Swedish financiers will be right up your alley.
In The Fall, Gillian Anderson’s detective battles against her own demons while hunting down serial killer Jamie Dornan. In Luther, near-genius murder detective Luther also battles his own demons while solving crimes. Seems like they might have something in common?
If you’ve been missing the campy soap-opera-y guilty pleasure that is Desperate Housewives, have no fear because Devious Maids fills that gap in a heartbeat.
Produced by Desperate Housewives’ own Eva Longoria and featuring lots of familiar faces, this’ll have your Desperate Housewife cravings satiated in no time.
The Wire, set in Baltimore and chronicling the drug industry from both sides, has a lot in common with Love/Hate – not least its gritty representation of Dublin, hard-hitting storylines and intricate relationships.
And good news if you’re already up-to-date with Love/Hate – they’re making an American version set in… Hawaii.
Of course.
