Black Mirror
Prior to the 2014 Christmas special episode, the genius that is Charlie Brooker made 3 other series of this gripping and quite honestly, slightly disturbing show.
From episodes set in an underground world where daily life consists of spending hours on an exercise bike and getting your food from a vending machine to blackmailing the PM into having sexual intercourse with a pig to save a girls life, this tv show is a unique and fantastic watch.
Luther
If crooked cops, psychological crime dramas and Idris Elba are your thing then you need to get on this.
Set in London, Detective Chief Inspector John Luther is a hardworking but impulsive man who will break the rules and one way or another find the culprits to some dark crimes being committed...
Orange is the New Black
If you are homophobic or squirm at the thought of same gender relationships then this isn't for you...
Welcome to Piper Chapmans life, she's just got engaged, has a loving family and has just handed her self in for smuggling drugs across the world wither her ex girlfriend. Next stop, 15 months in a female prison! Piper sticks out like a sore thumb and it looks like she is in for a long haul until she meets a familiar face...
Marco Polo
A period drama set in the court of Kublai Khan filled, with blood guts and naked women. I'm not going to say much about this as I don't want to give spoilers, but this one has had mixed reviews, I on the other had think it was brilliant! Think GOT mixed with a bit of kung fu.
American Horror Story
Lord you have really missed out on this you poor unfortunate souls!
Each season is a new season and set somewhere completely different to the others: for example the second is set in a mental asylum in 1964 where as the third is set modern day era. Reoccurring cast and suspense make this show, particularly Jessica Lang, who is present in all 4 seasons. A mixed back of wtf is going on here, "OMG I love Evan Peters" and a cameo from Adam Levine is why you should be sticking this on your To Buy list or getting someone else to buy you it!
An Idiot Abroad
If you think your other half is a miserable old man who doesn't see the beauty of life and the world then you haven't met Karl Pilkington.
1/3 of the cast from the Ricky Gervais show Karl Pilkington, who said “The Chichen Itza is just a pyramid with four sides, with stairs on each side leading to some kind of bungalow on the top” gets sent around the world to visit the seven wonders, it's not all cosy 5* hotels and top nosh though. Joining Karl in his trip from hell is just hilarious, definitely one to watch when you need cheering up or need a laugh.
Tumblr: For those moments of pure boredom sat in a cafe or on a long journey, this app is a brilliant way to pass time wandering through your dashboard filled with photos or someone elses page (providing you can get 3G/4G or WiFi. Just be careful what you search for...
Barclays Banking: Lifesaver app of the past year goes to this one! If you ever need to transfer money or pay someone asap this helps out so much and makes the whole thing fast and snappy. Of course there are apps like this for whatever bank you choose to join.
Snapguide: Again another " I'm bored and need some inspiration or something to do" app, depending on what topics you choose to like depends on what shows up on your dashboard. Typically mine shows up with recipes, craft ideas and DIY as I like to think that one day I'll get round to making something... one day. So if you're into crafts, baking and blog such as A Beautiful Mess then this is the app for you.
Quizup: I like to sit in bed and search through the vast array of topics to battle it out on, from Naruto to Physics this app has pretty much everything you need in a quiz app. Aesthetically pleasing and easy to use I would highly recommend downloading this and challenging your friends, especially on something they haven't got a clue on!
JustEat: This app comes in very handy if you're having a lazy night in with a takeaway, just enter your postcode and view the takeaways near you that deliver. Simples! Beware that some small towns and villages do not always benefit from this.
Rage Comics: This one isn't for everyone but I find rage comics hilarious, and this app collects all the best and new ones together for your viewing. It's much nicer on the eye than some of the others. Probably for the nerdier person.
My Hours: If you work shifts, or have a different rota every week like I used to, this app helps you log your hours/breaks and how much you make. I couldn't live without it at one point, hated the thought of writing my rota down on bits of paper and losing them. It's simple and easy to use so check this out.
