Okay, I’ve been a bit laggardly on the fitness and health side of things but that’s okay: I’ve been investing those ‘lost’ hours in my televisual research (145 titles totalling 496 hours, up a respectable amount from last year).

Enjoyed on the big screen were:
- Mississippi Grind
- Deadpool
- 45 Years
- The Hunt for the Wilderpeople
- The Nice Guys
- La Isla Minima
- Keanu
- The Accountant
- Blood Simple
- 99 Homes
Honourable mentions: Beach Boy Brian Wilson biopic Love and Mercy, unexpectedly affecting Rocky spin-off Creed, the unlikely and uncompromising Young Adult, the ridiculously fun Central Intelligence, and Florence Foster Jenkins which I was totally prepared to hate but couldn’t because it was so well executed.

The small screen offerings held their own:
- The Americans S01–04
- The Expanse S01
- Getting On (UK, 2008) S01–03
- Better Call Saul S02
- Low Winter Sun (UK, 2006)
- Animals Pilot
- Westworld S01
- Game of Thrones S06
- Catastrophe S02
- The Good Wife S07
Honourable mentions: low key sci-fi robot drama Humans S02, an happy bonus season of Offspring S06, and Transparent S02 which continues to make me scratch my head after each ep but unable to stop pressing the Next button for the next episode.
(I’d actually already watched the first two seasons of The Americans but made the mistake of introducing the Goddess to the pilot. It was a hard slog rewatching those first two seasons, I tell you.) (It wasn’t a hard slog — it’s a damned good show.)
Bring on 2017!
