Sex and the City
What more is there to say about this absolute classic. Sure, it’s not the kind of show you’d sit down to watch if you’re craving any kind of intellectual stimulation, but if you fancy something chilled and chick flick-y then it’s perfect. If you like the films then you’ll love the series, based on the books by Candace Bushnell. Be aware though, it may make you want to move to New York, find yourself a glamorous apartment you can’t afford and head out to a champagne brunch with your best girlfriends.

His Dark Materials
Another nostalgic childhood adaptation that we’re all here for. Whether you read the trilogy when you were younger or gawked over the magical parallel world in the films, Philip Pullman sure knows how to pull on a heart string. The BBC’s new series His Dark Materials is cinematically stunning, and truly brings to life the pages of the novels. All eight episodes of the first season are available to watch on BBC iPlayer, and a second season has been confirmed to keep us all on the edge of our seats.
