We’re kicking off with a local film directed by Oliver Hermanus. In<br />
The Endless River, a young waitress welcomes her husband home to the<br />
small South African town of Riviersonderend after his jail sentence. When the<br />
family of a foreigner living on a nearby farm is murdered, the waitress and the<br />
grieving widower begin gravitating towards each other. Trapped in a cycle of<br />
violence and bloodshed, the two form an unlikely bond seeking to transcend<br />
their mutual anger, pain and loneliness.<br />
When Detective Felicity Dill is killed in a car bombing, her sister, Allegra Dill, an<br />
investigator working for a senator, returns home to San Bonifacio to find the<br />
killer. In the process of her investigation, she uncovers a web of corruption in<br />
the small Texas town. Briarpatch (S1) is an artistic, interesting mystery crime<br />
series based on the Ross Thomas novel of the same name.<br />
Vida (S3) returns with the two Mexican-American sisters, Emma and Lyn, who<br />
couldn’t be more different or distanced from each other. Circumstances force<br />
them to return to their old neighbourhood, where they are confronted by<br />
the past and shocking truth about their mother’s identity.<br />
In the Reckoning (S1) the murder of a teenager and the hunt for a serial<br />
killer in a suburban town sets two fathers on a course of mutual destruction<br />
that will reverberate through their quiet community. Explore the darkest<br />
corners of the male psyche through the eyes of two fathers, one of whom is<br />
a serial killer.<br />
It’s time, once again, to wreak some hilarious havoc on the spacetime<br />
continuum as Future Man (S3) debuts its final season to wrap things up. Josh<br />
Futturman, a janitor by day and a gamer by night, is recruited by mysterious<br />
visitors to travel through time to prevent the extinction of humanity.<br />
Hard-hitting cop show Bosch (S6) is back. The run of shows sees Harry<br />
playing a key role in trying to save his city after a medical physicist is executed<br />
and the deadly radioactive material he had with him goes missing. Finding<br />
himself at the centre of a complex murder case, a messy federal investigation,<br />
and an impending catastrophic threat to Los Angeles, Bosch must act as<br />
domestic terrorists threaten the fate of Los Angeles.<br />
The hit mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows (S2) is a look into the<br />
daily (or rather, nightly) lives of three vampires who’ve lived together in New<br />
York for more than 100 years – plenty of time to get on each other’s nerves.<br />
With the Whisperer War upon them, the collective communities must come<br />
together and possibly sacrifice all they have to find a way to silence the<br />
Whisperers once and for all. Otherwise Alpha will ensure they face a certain<br />
doom … The Walking Dead (S10) is the definitive zombie show, having won<br />
77 awards globally.<br />
I May Destroy You is a British comedy-drama television series set in London<br />
where gratification is only an app away. Arabella is a carefree, self-assured<br />
Londoner with a group of great friends, a boyfriend in Italy and a burgeoning<br />
writing career. But when her drink is spiked with a date-rape drug, she must<br />
question and rebuild every element of her life.<br />
