Great series are a lot like relationships.
When you first meet, you want to spend all your time indulging in their presence.
Your friends think you neglect them and when it’s over, you’ve a gaping hole in your life… until the next series/partner comes along.
You may get burned but you’ll keep on coming back for more, because when you find the right one, it’s worth it.
That’s why we love UPC’s My Prime. It’s a fantastic on-demand service which has more great box sets than you shake a stick at.
Here’s five of our favourites from this service.
Serangoon Road
Don Hany, Joan Chen, Maeve Dermody
This little known HBO nugget is a fantastic detective-noir series which is set against the backdrop of 1960’s Singapore. It has been winning awards for fun in Australia and Asia and is sure to grab a cult following in this part of the world too.

Scandal
Starring Kerry Washington, Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes, Guillermo Díaz
This really is fantastic viewing. In Scandal, the former White House Communications Director starts her own crisis management firm, but soon realises that life is full of secrets.
Love/Hate
Starring Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Killian Scott, Aoibhinn McGinnity
This now infamous series got a stranglehold on a whole nation. Go back to the start to see where it all began for these smooth criminals.
Castle
Starring Nathan Fillion, Molly C. Quinn, Stana Katic
If you’re in the mood for something a tad lighter, then Castle might be the show for you. Lord of the nerds, Nathon Fillion, plays a writer who is being used to solve murders. Yes, it is as fun as it sounds.
The Republic of Doyle
Starring Allan Hawco, Seán McGinley,Krystin Pellerin
A cracking show which follows the trials and tribulations of a family of private investigators. It’s as funny as it is thrilling.
This is just a taste of the absolute gems My Prime has on offer.
