Love Island is coming to an end. The finale for Love Island will take place on Monday August 23 and we know, from previous years, it can be tough to take at times.

But you could aaaaalso dig into some of the great TV that's starting juuuuust in time, or has crept up in the last few weeks and you've missed it because... well, there's just no point starting something else is there when your life is consumed?
