TV Catch Up – House of Cards

James gives us his top TV picks for this week

TLDR

Netflix subscribers who are game for a dose of nostalgia will be delighted to discover that Pokémon: Indigo League (the original 1997 series) is now available to stream. While it is arguably no longer the cultural phenomenon it once was, Pokémon still remains a household name – those who grew up with the franchise might be able to touch base with their childhood. Once you hear the theme tune, you won’t be able to resist. As well as this, the Australian legal series Rake has hit Netflix too. Those who don’t see Pokémon as their thing might find this a more attractive proposal.

  Oh, and those on Netflix who haven’t seen House of Cards Season 2 yet, make it a priority right now! Shame on you even more if you haven’t watched the series at all! Kevin Spacey is a greedy, backstabbing US Representative and Robin Wright is his equally devious wife – one shouldn’t need to sell it any harder.

  And, of course, we cannot ignore the build up to this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. It was announced on Monday that Molly Smitten-Downes (a relative unknown compared to past competitors) would be representing the UK this year. Will the UK be in with a chance of winning the competition for the first time since 1997? You’ll have to find out on May 10th.
