Channel 4's on-demand service All 4 is home to absolute quality TV shows including The O.C. (!!) – here are some of the best
With so many streaming services to choose from, knowing where to go for your next binge-watch can feel a little overwhelming at times (okay, we know there are more important things happening in the world right now, but just roll with it because we all have a lot of free time on our hands as we enter our third national lockdown).
Though we are incredibly grateful to the powers that be at Netflix for always providing us with the very best in entertainment gold, we are often guilty of overlooking some of the other streaming sites out there.
When it comes to Channel 4's on-demand streaming service All 4, there are absolutely tons of top-notch TV shows to get stuck into. Whether you're after an easy watch in the form of reality TV (if you were a fan of Love Is Blind earlier this year, you just have to watch Married At First Sight), a decent crime drama (The Twelve is a wildly underrated show) or a feel-good nostalgic throwback (will all the real Malcolm In The Middle stans please stand up?) – All 4 has got your Sunday sofa sesh well and truly sorted.
Where The Crawdads Sing is getting the big screen treatment!
Fans have also been flocking to All 4 lately to binge-watch Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing which has dropped on the streaming site. The critically-acclaimed US political drama follows the lives of staffers in the West Wing of the White House, under the Democratic administration of fictional president Josiah Bartlet. The West Wing is often hailed as one of the best TV shows of all time, and the good news is all seven seasons are available to watch on All 4. If that wasn't enough, nostalgic US TV show, The O.C., is dropping on All 4 on January 22 and we are ready. Time to get stuck in.
All 4, we thank you.

It follows single people who are matched by a panel of relationship experts, and must marry a total stranger who they meet for the very first time on their wedding day. Yes, really.

Malcolm In The Middle
C'mon, who doesn't love a good old early-Noughties throwback?
