I'm fortunate enough to live by myself, which means that if I want to watch nothing but Grey's Anatomy reruns, I absolutely can. I'm only ever a few clicks away from The Departed (again) and my go-to horror films are on a constant viewing loop.
But as a creature of comfort, it also means I'm notoriously picky when it comes to watching new things. The benefit of living with housemates or a significant other is that they usually have something to say if you're hogging the TV with vintage Made In Chelsea every night. So this year, I made a conscious effort to break out of my telly rut - and it has led to some pretty excellent finds. Thanks to early nudges from industry insiders, I make a note of what's coming up and pick out the best bits.
