This Easter I will be spending some quality time with family, but I also plan to have some quality down time too.  Pottering in the garden, board games with the kids and binge-watching some TV.  There are some great new shows out which I have been enjoying lately. I was a huge fan of ER with George Clooney and John Stamos back in the day. I’ve really been missing some quality medical dramas until recently; The Resident and The Good Doctor are my new firm favourites!!

THE GOOD DOCTOR
