TV Shows Worth Marathoning

I love a TV marathon as much as the next gal and I am sure you gorge people do too... So I thought I would share the TV shows that I have been lovin' of late... Let us get to it!

Spiral 

[Engrenages in French!]
If you like yourself some amazing crime drama, this is for you. I warn you, it's French, but can be found subtitled online... but French learners, this is essential viewing! So gripping, and so much better than any other French TV shows I've ever seen. Worth watching for the spectacular cliffhangers at the end of nearly every episode. (I'd start in Season 5 like I did - it is not too hard to follow and Season 1 is GOD AWFUL.)

Brooklyn 99

It's funny and stars Andy Samburg, so basically, I love it. Lovers of Parks and Recreation and perhaps even The Office US will be up for this: it's made by some of the folks that made Parks and Rec, but I think it stands well in its own right. Funny, wacky, with a brilliant and diverse cast, it's the comedy to keep an eye on.

The Great British Sewing Bee

Changing gears again, this is about the sweetest and most inspirational show since its [I suspect] sibling program came out, The Great British Bake-off, the Sewing Bee is most certainly not a bland copycat. It follows a group of amateur sewers of incredible talent from one week to the next and you will never see camaraderie like this on any other show; plus it is hosted by my not-so-secret girl crush, the gorgeous and hysterical Claudia Winkleman. You must see it.

The Last Leg

This weekly news mocker started with the intent of covering the Paralympics in 2012, and proved so popular that it has reappeared again and again. Funny and irreverent, it tackles today's topics with the humour and common sense our nation's politicians seem to be lacking. The three hosts, Adam, Alex and Josh, are hilariously funny and their anti-IS rants aren't to be missed.

Gogglebox

The premise of this one is ludicrously simple: it films a number of British families as they watch what's been on our screens in the last week. [The Royle Family no doubt inspired this one.] Silly and pointless it may sound, but it's addictive stuff - you find yourself bonding with certain families and being stunned by the others (I'm hoping mentioning this show will land me an invitation to the Siddiquis', because they have the wittiest sense of humour in town).

What show are you into at the moment? I would literally love to hear about them down in the comment section!
