Season 4 of FXX’s You're The Worst has just premiered, and its episode-a-week format gives you the chance to catch up if you've missed the first three. Even if you're all caught up, I recommend going back and rewatching some of the most iconic episodes. If you can’t access You're The Worst because of regional restrictions, consider using a VPN (there are those that work even when your school’s blocked VPNs ). As you can tell, I absolutely love You're The Worst. I was initially drawn to it by Chris Geere’s portrayal of Jimmy, a British author living in the States. Now I’m hooked, and...

Exeter Chiefs may not have created history last weekend, but Director of Rugby Rob Baxter saw enough from his side in defeat at Gloucester to give him plenty of encouragement for the future. The reigning Aviva Premiership champions were downed right at the death by the Cherry & Whites, losing 28-21 in their seasonal opener at Kingsholm. Jason Woodward’s last-gasp try meant the Chiefs missed not only suffered defeat in Round One, but also missed out on setting a new record of 18 games unbeaten in English rugby’s top division. Although disappointed to come unstuck, Baxter preferred to...
