Thankfully now she's 18 she's grown out of that phase.

I can handle masterchef , the undateables and OCD cleaners. that's about it.
Big brother used to be interesting at first when they had more diverse people, age ranges etc. Now they're all wannabee celebs and clones.

I've never seen a full episode of any of them either. The tiny bits and bobs I've seen or heard here and there mean that will not be changing so long as there is breath in my body.

I hadn't heard of some of the ones gag mentioned and, like you, haven't seen any of them. The first time I saw TOWIE in an online conversation, I had to Google it to see what it was – I thought it was someone mistyping TOWEL and they were referring to large pieces of absorbent cotton!

I thought the first 7 episodes of Agents of SHIELD were rather good.

I've always liked Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson so to have him heading up a mission team is a lot of fun for me. The characters are all likable and it's great to see Ian de Caestecker who was so impressive in the film Lost River playing a member of said SHIELD team.

Lots of action with fast paced story lines, in fact it's quite similar in a way to Alias in how it's set up even though it's currently mission of the week stuff without a central plot line although there are strands emerging already.

Finished Narcos excellent stuff well acted and gripping from begining to end also very interesting with it being based on true life events.

Just started watching person of interest, which I'm enjoying more than I thought for something I picked up on a whim

I like Agents of Shield as well. I have to admit that the first season was 'difficult' however by season 2 I think it found its feet. Joss Whedon has a habit of keeping his cards close to his chest and throwing a big twist. The trouble is its affected previous series (Dollhouse) as by the time the twist is thrown in most of the audience has left.
