Shows:
BoJack Horseman. When college work is looming, sometimes all you need is a sociopathic horse to tell you how hilariously terrible everything is. Conall Monaghan

Lovesick (AKA: it’s infinitely better former title Scrotal Recall). This British sitcom plays on our worst fears about STDs, but is also somehow hilariously charming. David Donovan

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This show will makes you feel great about yourself. Emma Mangan

STRANGER THINGS. Just watch it. Emma Mangan

H2O: Just Add Water. You know you want to. No reason required. Doireann Duffy

 

Films:
Jeff, Who Lives at Home is surprisingly excellent from what I remember. The whole film is basically about going with the flow. It’ll all be OK in the end. A proper feel good movie to get you through those first term blues. Gary Munnelly

Fargo. Always a fave. Úna Ní Artaigh

Requiem for a Dream. Watch this if you want to attone for all the work you’ve ignored. The opposite of a cosy night in. Surprisingly, there are no lovely dreams in the film. Jared Leto’s in it though. Katie O’Brien
