lads. between essays i've somehow been feeding a properly unhinged tv habit and here's the damage. bit of comfort rewatches, a good few Irish ones that hit different when you actually recognise the streets, and stuff i binged instead of doing my reading week readings — no regrets, honestly. deadly craic the lot of them.

Shows that ruined my sleep schedule — 10 items
Name	Show	My take
1Normal People	Normal People	filmed bits around Trinity and Sligo, absolutely wrecked me, can't hear that soundtrack without going quiet for a minute
2Derry Girls	Derry Girls	pure comfort food telly, watch it when the deadlines are winning, laugh and cry in the same episode every time
3The Young Offenders	The Young Offenders	cork lads being absolute eejits, so daft it's deadly, puts me in great form after a bad lecture
4Bad Sisters	Bad Sisters	dark and savage funny at once, sharon horgan doing what she does best, binged this in a weekend instead of studying
5Fair City	Fair City	my nana's obsessed and i pretend i'm not but i absolutely know what's going on in carrigstown, grand oul distraction
6Kin	Kin	Dublin gangland drama, moody as anything, made me look at ordinary houses on my walk home a bit differently
7The Fall	The Fall	technically Belfast not Dublin but i'm counting it, properly tense, watched it with the lights off which was a mistake
9Smother	Smother	family secrets by the sea, dervla kirwan is fab in it, got me through a good few oat milk lattes
10Reprisal	Reprisal	gritty Dublin crime stuff, a bit under the radar, decent if you want something moody with your tea
11The Clinic	The Clinic	old RTE hospital drama my flatmate put me onto, so dated it's brilliant, proper nostalgia even though i wasn't born watching it first time
