So let us, along with our friends at NOW TV, pick out five of the best shows to watch.
Where: ITV
When: 10.15pm on Saturday
This Cold War-era spy drama is one of the must-see US shows right now. Tucked away in ITV's late night schedules, it's a visual and aural treat for anyone who grew up in the '80s - big hair! Fleetwood Mac! Phil Collins! - and it's also a seriously tense depiction of life for two Russians undercover in Reagan's America. Now in its second season, it's not too late to get on board to find out why we're hooked on this on Saturday nights.
Where: Sky Atlantic on NOW TV
When: 10pm on Wednesdays and repeated at 9pm on Saturdays - seasons 1-6 box set available now on NOW TV
The '60s ad agency drama has swaggered back on to our screens for the start of its final season with its usual mix of delicious soapy drama and exquisite dashing style. Jam-packed with hidden literary and cultural references in every episode, Mad Men is a show that truly rewards its viewers with every sitting, and the final season is proving to be one of its finest, burning with tension as we approach the end for Don, Joan, Peggy and co. If you haven't caught up yet, all the past episodes are available on NOW TV.
Where: Sky 1 on NOW TV
When: 8pm on Saturday - past episodes available now on NOW TV
The British are famously obsessed with the weather, but Ben Fogle's new series Storm City is a world away from Michael Fish chatting about showers over East Anglia. The TV presenter uses real-life case studies of some of the world's most dangerous and extreme weather, meets storm survivors and, with a team of experts, recreates the experiences - in one episode, Fogle puts a test house under an avalanche! From the world's fiercest ice storms to devastating high-speed winds, this documentary series is truly spectacular.
Where: BBC One
When: 9.30pm on Saturday
If you're sick of celebrities dancing and sob-story singers on talent shows, Rob Brydon's new Saturday night entertainment show The Guess List is the perfect antidote. It's basically a revamped version of Blankety Blank with added Brydon cheekiness. A refreshing return to shiny Saturday night TV fun which doesn't rely on Simon Cowell, it's a genuinely funny and modern take on an old-fashioned, fun-for-all-the-family format.
