Criminal Record
Criminal Record is an exciting crime drama following two exceptional detectives as they clash over a man who was convicted several years ago of a crime he may or may not have committed. After receiving a questionable phone call, Detective June Lenker looks into past cases and begins to suspect that Errol Mathis, the man in question, may not be guilty after all. On the other hand, Detective Daniel Hegarty, the one who obtained a confession from the said prisoner, strongly opposes Detective Lenker’s theory and attempts to dissuade her as she tries to find proof. Watch our detectives follow treads of evidence down a dark and dangerous road in search of truth which may very well cost them their lives. Take care not to bite your nails off during this action-packed drama!
For All Mankind
Apple TV’s famous science fiction series returns with a fourth season. For All Mankind explores an alternate reality in which humanity colonizes the Moon. As the Soviets sent their first man to the moon, a race to prove themselves better started between the Soviets and the US. Things eventually escalate to an imminent nuclear war and plans to finally live on Mars. Season 4 sees our protagonists trying to start a hopeful, new life on the Red Planet. Except they discover an asteroid loaded with a rare metal which sets off a global conflict between the superpowers over who gets to claim the asteroid. What does this mean for mankind? Will these hopes to build a new future be fulfilled? Will Earth survive this greed for power and wealth or bring about its own demise in this contest?
Foundation
The Foundation TV series is based on a 5 part book series of the same name by the author Isaac Asimov. The series follows Dr. Hari Seldon, a brilliant mathematician who predicts the inevitable fall of the Galactic Empire. To preserve humanity’s knowledge and shorten the dark ages to come, Seldon establishes the Foundation, a group of exiles tasked with safeguarding civilization’s future. Prepare for a sprawling saga that jumps through time and space as the Foundation faces off against opposing forces and the challenges of guiding humanity to its destiny.
Loot
Fans of Loot, get your popcorn ready and prepare to laugh because season 2 is coming out on April 3rd. Watch how our beloved Molly, the world’s third wealthiest person, decides to give up her fortune to aid those in need, strengthening her friendships and possibly finding love along the way as she learns more about herself and establishes a separate identity for herself other than a rich man’s divorcee. So those of you looking for something lighthearted to watch, this will be worth your time.
Masters of the Air
Fasten your seatbelts for Masters of the Air, a gripping military drama, which centers on an air force unit known as The Hundredth Bombardment Group that fought the Nazis in Germany during World War II in the 1940s. It depicts how this Air Force squad, dubbed the “bloody hundreds” because of the high number of deaths among its members, fights with all their might as they try not to lose themselves to the violence surrounding them. Follow how Major Gale Cleven and Major John Egan and their comrades navigate the field of war, friendships, love, and uncertainty as all that they believe in slowly disappears like smoke from the airplanes they fly. So those of you looking for something historical, accompany our protagonists as they try to make it to the other side of the war!
Severance
Can you picture yourself leaving for work one minute and returning home the next? No recollection of anything in between. How wonderful. Now imagine, for a moment, that you have a 9 to 5 job that you start again as soon as you clock out. Mark Scout, our protagonist in this series, underwent a procedure called Severance to separate his work memories from his not-at-work memories. This means his work persona, called his innie, is stuck in a hellish loop of working constantly. Watch as Mark’s innie handles the challenges of his work as he learns that his best friend has left the job without notice and that he must advance to a more senior role and mentor a new hire! Root for Mark as he tries to survive his job with all the positivity he possesses!
Slow Horses
A deliciously funny spy thriller drama, Slow Horses follows MI5 agents who messed up but were not fired. Rather, they were sidelined to do desk jobs but ended up getting involved in important cases after all. In season 3, a team of MI5 agents goes rogue and our Slow Horses, led by Jack Lamb, are called for action. Watch as these chaotic misfits try and complete their mission while sorting out their own messes along the way. Slow Horses is perfect for those who like their crime with a sprinkle of comedy.
