Now that we're settling into real life again we're back onto recommending the best in telly for listeners. In our chat about what we've been watching Steven tells us about People Just Do Nothing, a comedy series and brings in the big hitters he's been treated to by his local independent cinema Citizen Kane and Rashomon. Alex has been enjoying The Rig, a supernatural thriller with many excellent Scottish actors and in a completely different genre he's also been enjoying Sex Lives of College Girls. Kelly tells us about Spector which she has just started a documentary on the life of Phil Spector, a famous music producer jailed for murder in 2009.

This week's 'deep dive' is into The Last of US, HBO horror/drama starting this weekend on Sky. It' about a mushroom zombie post-apocalyptic travelogue with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. Sounds like one to watch for sure.

Finally Steven takes us back to the future in his review of Hunters - which is about to start a new series on Amazon Prime. This is a dark comedy about nazi-hunters in the 1970s which has some problems that Steven shares with us but ultimately he enjoyed watching.
