Everybody’s talking about… High Maintenance
Vimeo original show High Maintenance has just premiered its second season. It’s about a weed delivery man called Sinclair, and his array of clients. You can watch the 13 old episodes for free, and pay €1.49 to watch each new one. It’s worth it; they’re short, accomplished and original.
Or switch over for…
- Strictly Come Dancing (BBC One, 7pm) The action moves to Blackpool Tower Ballroom
- The X Factor (UTV/TV3, 8.15) The shambles continues, and this week it’s… sigh… Big Band Week
- Chronicle (Channel 4, 10pm) An origins film with a difference. Not a bad yarn
- The Fall (RTÉ 1, 11.15) Last week’s episode repeated
