Making fine use of the silly season book buying rush, Jenna's been asking punters their favourites of 2018. First up: Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love. A collection of essays for those who've become jaded with ye olde Lenny Letter crew, but still want to yell "OMG RIIIITE" at a relatable tale of being young, female and alive (just).
The silly season is approaching and Ange just wants you to look after yourself, okay? Micro-breaks, deep breathing, echinacea, herbal tea... employ the good stuff wherever you can and don't let the hubbub break your stride.

Can Sandra Oh's latest series, Killing Eve top the many (MANY) seasons of Grey Anatomy? Sam's been watching and so far, he's thoroughly impressed. In a game of cat and mouse Eve and Villanelle go head to head in an equal obsession with each other. But is this enough to get Sam through the entire series? Stay tuned.
At Tess's special request, Sam (resident TV expert) investigates True Detective Season 3 but is the world of crime series over-saturated? Can yet another mystery thriller survive? Despite the long episodes, Sam's almost convinced...
Everybody loves a good medical drama, right? From House to Scrubs... the list goes on, and Sam's got a personal favourite on that list. New Amsterdam is one season deep, based on the book Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric Manheimer. The series follows Dr. Max Goodwin, the medical director of one of the oldest public hospitals in the US, with goals to reform the neglected facility. Sam reckons you should get amongst.
