Smart TV Episode 32

We’ve all been there – sat in front of the television, flicking through channels, getting increasingly frustrated – there’s so much on, but nothing to watch. TV critics Caroline Frost and Shem Law have you covered.

They watch it all, so you don’t have to.

You’ll find out about the latest series dropping that week, what to binge and what television show will become the next watercooler moment.
