Binge for summer.
We talked as a team and picked the best of what we like for a bunch of different reasons. So here’s three must-binge TV series, some brilliant podcasts and cracking books. Get stuck in.
Three MUST BINGE TV SHOWS.
WHAT: Sharp Objects.
WHERE: Neon.
WHY? Everyone loves a psychological thriller with a serious alcoholic and a twist.
WHAT: Unreal.
WHERE: Lightbox.
WHY? A dramedy about reality without a moment’s thought for politically correct.
WHAT: The Nanny & Full House.
WHERE: Netflix.
WHY? Still family-friendly post-news laughs a couple of decades later.
Three MUST BINGE BOOKS.
WHAT: Still Me.
WHO: Jojo Moyes.
WHY? Because it’s the sequel to Me Before You. Enough said.
WHAT: Too Much and Not in the Mood.
WHO: Durga Chew-Bose.
WHY? It has some of the best personal essays ever written.
WHAT: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.
WHO: Mark Manson.
WHY? Searching for your why? We like the confronting nature of this self-help book.
Three MUST BINGE PODCASTS.
WHAT: Business Wars.
WHO: Wondery.
WHY? Netflix vs HBO. Nike vs Adidas. Business battles that are too good not to hear.
WHAT: Girls on top.

WHAT: Serial.
WHO: This American Life.
WHY? Nothing like a crime thriller on a road trip. But maybe not with the kids in the car.
