Hywel has seen just one or two of Transparent. Have you? People who love it really really LOVE it, should you watch it? And is Hywel's reading of it so far astute, or is Transparent less transparent than he thinks?

You couldn’t get much further apart on the box set scale than Flowers and Game Of Thrones. Flowers, a new TV series written by Will Sharpe and starring the Boosh’s Julian Barrett and Olvia Coleman is Hywel’s favourite thing ever (at the moment). But recent support act to Frankie Boyle Tiernan isn’t a fan, and neither is work experience Jack. BUT they’ve only seen episode one. Should they, and you, invest in this new series Hywel loves so much? Oh and some Game Of Thrones spoiler chat at the end – a warning will warn you when the spoilers will begin.
