Sam says he's drowing in exam prep, yet he's somehow still managed to binge seven seasons of a cult comedy over the past week. And if that right there doesn't sell it, we don't know what will! It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (2005) features five egocentric friends who run a neighborhood Irish pub in Philadelphia, and follows their everyday antics as they attempt to find their way through the adult world of work and relationships... and there's no end in sight! It's the longest-running live-action sitcom in American TV history. Give it a go, go on.

Television extraordinaire Sam Sinnott's in studio to talk Evil Genius (2018), the new Netflix docu-series that delves into the true story of America's most diabolical bank heist, and apparently, it's Wild Wild Country level good. Big call? You be the judge.

Our television expert might be compromising his double degree to be here but it's alllll good (or so he says). Is reviewing Safe (2018) worth the academic risk? Uhh... sure! Standing at a solid 6.5 rating from the man himself, this Michael Hall starrer (of Dexter fame) is only 10 episodes long with no future seasons in sight. A quick binge indeed - your degree will be fiiiine.

It's a Blade Runner-esq pick this week. Netflix's Altered Carbon (2018) features cortical stacks, memory transplants, synthetic bodies, and a strong-willed mercenary at the centre of it all. All delivered through the filter of a delicious dystopian cyberpunk lens - don't miss it.

You can't have too many superhero spinoff shows, can ya? Television expert Sam sure doesn't think so. This week we delve into Netflix's new politically-charged series Black Lightning (2018), which explores themes of black pain and power through vigilante DC Comics character Jefferson Pierce.

Television extraordinaire and absolute nerd Sam Sinnott joins us in studio to discuss Marvel Comics' Legion, featuring Parks and Rec's Aubrey Plaza and Downton's dashing Dan Stevens. Rejoice! This one superhero thing is not only good, but it's so good you can watch twice. Delicious.

Sam's chatting about a show he absolutely hates this week. Netflix's Santa Clarita Diet is an ambitious series trying to combine family values with gory zombie-lore. With its second season underway, our television expert can only pray it's not renewed for a third.
