“‘The Riches.’ I’d never heard of it until an American friend mentioned it and I found the first series on Netflix… Minnie Driver has a comic timing I’d never guessed at, and Eddie Izzard plays the role they were born for (haven’t much liked them in anything else). Great ensemble cast. The drugs episode is a must-watch. Made me a die-hard fan of Minnie. Second series not quite so good.”

“‘In the Flesh!’ An amazing TV series set after a zombie apocalypse, won by humans, who then started treated zombies for them to be ‘docile’ and human-like, to be reintegrated in society. The main character is a teen zombie who comes back to his family in a very small village in UK. It’s an amazing allegory view on discrimination, inclusivity and trauma. Extremely dark, extremely sad and one of the best written shows ever, with amazing music and visuals. A must-watch! A shame it was canceled after only two seasons.”
