I don't know about you, but I'll be taking it pretty handy this weekend - I plan on having a serious weekend in bed with my other half Netflix. And while most of you have probably watched all of season three of House Of Cards, I'm only starting it. So if you've run out of binge-watching ideas we've made this little list of awesome things to get stuck into for hours:
Academy Award Nominated VIRUNGA is an incredible true story about a group of people who risk their lives to build a better future in a part of Africa the world has totally forgotten about - life in the Congo. In the forested depths of eastern Congo lies Virunga National Park, one of the most bio-diverse places in the world and home to the last of the mountain gorillas. In this wild, but enchanted environment, a small and embattled team of park rangers - including an ex-child soldier turned ranger, a caretaker of orphan gorillas and a Belgian conservationist - protect this UNESCO world heritage site from armed militia, poachers and the dark forces struggling to control Congo's rich natural resources. When the newly formed M23 rebel group declares war in May 2012, a new conflict threatens the lives and stability of everyone and everything they've worked so hard to protect.
The newly released Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has been blowing up all over social and is a must if you're looking to get stuck into something more lighthearted. Made by the same producers behind 30 Rock, it's a story about a weirdo who had been part of a doomsday cult and is now trying to make a life for herself in NYC... pretty hilarious and worth a binge.
This documentary makes you want to tell the truth and never lie again for the rest of your life. An athlete dupes the world with his tale of miraculous recovery from cancer, becoming a sports hero and beacon of hope, but can't he outpace the truth.
