Whether your planning to hit the gym or eat less meat, don’t forget to make one new year’s resolution catching up on some modern gems before their rights expire and they depart your favourite streaming service.

For Sky and NOW users, that means taking care not to miss out on comedy masterpieces 30 Rock, Nathan for You and Kidding, or, if you’ve got Sky Cinema, everything from Love, Simon and Lady Bird to Mary And The Witch’s Flower and – as Disney+ draws closer – a Pixar favourite.

This is your last chance to stream the following:

TV

30 Rock: Season 1 to 7 – 26th January

Written by and starring Tina Fey, the sitcom follows Liz Lemon (Fey), Head Writer for a live sketch-comedy show, as she tries to contend with the mad escapades of her colleagues.

While the kids investigate, the adults start to wonder if their kids are hiding secrets of their own… With the third and final season now airing weekly, don’t miss your chance to catch up with Season 1.
