One of my favourite things to do in the Autumn months is snuggle up on the sofa and binge watch TV shows with Jess. You feel a little less guilty spending hours in front of the television when the weather isn’t great outside – not that I particularly feel guilty when there’s sunshine either.

October looks to be an especially great month for new series, so I’ve made a little list of all the shows I’m looking forward to checking out. There’s everything from Superheroes to Royalty, and I’m particularly excited to see Paul Rudd on screen in Living with Myself.
