5 TV shows to help you get over the departure of Love Island

Alex Martinez/Bravo

After two months of the nation glued to their television screens every night, Love Island has said goodbye for another year, leaving behind a void yearning to be filled and a social calendar to be re-populated.

While there’s nothing quite like the tense recouplings, ridiculous challenges and rollercoaster romances of everyone’s favourite Mediterranean villa, finding solace in another binge-worthy show can help ease your Love Island withdrawal symptoms.
