"We've been left in the lurch for an entire year, but finally Lichfield's prison gates have re-opened for our viewing pleasure. Because the only way to watch OITNB is to binge on it, the nice peeps over at Netflix have dropped the entire season four in one go, so you best bid goodbye to your social life.

This season takes a heavy turn and delves into some deep issues, while still managing to weave in some light hearted humour through their epic characters – like Taystee, Morello and crazy eyes.

So, if you’re not big on spoilers you better clear your schedule, buy a bottle of red and get binging because the explosive finale has everyone talking.

If you like history, politics, espionage or the musical phenomenon that is Hamilton, then perhaps Turn: Washington's Spies deserves a look in.

The period drama set during the American Revolutionary War explores a little network of soldiers and civilians who formed a spy ring that helped turn the tide of war.
If you like TV shows that are part war, part gentlemanly bodice ripper you'll enjoy this.

From the same people that brought you that other winning period drama Mad Men, Turn just finished its third season and stars Jamie Bell, Heather Lind and JJ Feild.

Six Feet Under

OK yes, the series might be a tad old (its final episode went to air in 2005) but that doesn't mean it's lost any of its charm.

Set in funeral home which run by the dysfunctional Fisher family, the show takes a unique and (very dark) humourous look at the subject of death.

In a rare stroke of genius, the show is able to touch upon morbid themes without becoming dragged down by them. It also manages to show glimpses of humanity at its best without falling down that putrid and over-traveled sentimental rabbit hole.

It might be about death, but this show will teach you everything and anything you need to know about life.

Outlander

Outlander is your period drama fix now that GoT is on hiatus.

While it’s not quite medieval, you’ll love the glimpse at Scotland’s history when our 1940s English nurse named Claire is transported back in time after some good ol’ fashioned witchcraft went wrong.

The storyline follows the Jacobite rebellion (with some feminist underpinnings) but let’s be frank, we’re here for the hot 18th century sexy time scenes. The lead actors Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan have such an epic connection they’ll make you blush!



Mr. Robot

With series two about to drop in one great lump the timing is perfect, but that has been the case for Mr. Robot since day one.

With an amazing ensemble cast lead by Christian Slater (who you've seen previously in ... everything) and Rami Malek (who you're about to see in everything including Jason Bourne and Star Wars: Rogue One), they've got some big names joining this year like Grace Gummer, Meryl Streep's incredibly talented daughter.

The premise: The show follows a young computer programmer deals with his social anxiety disorder through a cocktail of drugs, sex and primarily hacking. When he's recruited by a mysterious anarchist, called Mr. Robot life goes off the rails quicker than you can say "awesome reflection of modern society".
