Fear The Walking Dead

Holding
Based on Graham Norton’s acclaimed novel, this darkly comic Irish series is set in a small West Cork village where life seems to seep away from its inhabitants. To cope, Sergeant PJ Collins hides away with comfort food, mother of two, Brid, has become an alcoholic, and elegant Evelyn Ross believes her life a waste.

Sisi
Nicknamed Sisi, Bavarian Princess Elisabeth fell in love with the Emperor of Austria, thrusting her into the Habsburg court and a life in Vienna that was nothing like she expected. It was the end of the 19th century, and Sisi knew who she was, and had influence and ideals of her own. But she had to fight against the strict and even cruel regime to live on her own terms. Fans of period drama will enjoy this German-language series and watching Sisi, at the time considered a ‘tomboy’, come of age.
Dramaworld
Full of whimsy, we can’t wait for this one. Australian Liv Hewson (Homecoming Queens) plays 20-year-old American college student, Claire, who’s more than a little obsessed with Korean drama ‘Taste of Love’ and its leading man, the dreamy Joon Park (Sean Dulake). To escape her boring work and school life, she watches the show every moment she gets, fantasising about Joon Park walking through her door one day. But one day, she walks through his – through her smartphone, she gets sucked into ‘Taste of Love’, and now, she is not only watching the drama unfold for herself, she is also a part of it. Featuring Korean and English languages.
Doc

Is Christian a thug, sinner or saviour? In his inner-city life, Christian earns a crust by doing the dirty work of local crime boss, Lino. But when stigmata appear on his hands, he’s physically unable to carry out the job. He’s discovered newfound mysterious healing powers, too. While he prepares for a fight against Lino, he’s also being tracked by Matteo, a Vatican postulator in search of confirmations of a miracle that changed his own life as a child.
