TIME FOR A root in the treasure trove that is YouTube.
Make use of your fancy 4G smartphone on your evening commute or while on the treadmill (still going strong with that new year resolution, yeah?) by getting stuck into these YouTube telly picks.
For 90s kids… Are You Afraid of the Dark
If you grew up in the 90s, chances are you’ve been terrified of the opening sequence to Are You Afraid of the Dark. Tons of full episodes are available on YouTube, but start with this one about a creepy clown, preferably right before bed.
For bite-sized sci-fi… The Twilight Zone
A treasure trove of brilliant sci-fi stories. Start with Eye of the Beholder for a lesson in the perception of beauty.
Re-live it… Love/Hate
The entire first season, in one video.
For a laugh… Summer Heights High
Chris Lilley’s Australian mockumentary of high-school life is gas. Maybe one to avoid on public transport, you giggling weirdo.
Relive the awkward teen phase… Freaks and Geeks
Seth Rogen and James Franco starred in this brilliant Judd Apatow produced comedy before they were famous. It was cancelled way before its time, but at least we have the one and only season to enjoy on YouTube in all its glory.
Something to scoff at… Tallafornia
Yes, we’re playing it fast and loose with the word ‘classic’. Missed this elegant portrayal of Dublin life the first time around? The whole series is up on YouTube to ensure a global audience can enjoy our pain. YOU’RE WELCOME.
