Just when we thought we were about to run out of epic shows to binge, Netflix went and gifted us Lupin, a French crime series that has proved so popular, it’s starting to rival Bridgerton viewing numbers—yes, really!

Elizabeth Moss, aka our fave red cloak-wearing hero June, announced back in December that The Handmaid’s Tale was returning for another two epic seasons. What we didn’t know was when we’d see the dystopian thriller hit our screens again—thanks to COVID we expected major delays…

We sit down with Touch Sensitive to chat about the perfect movie night set-up.

In 2020 we consumed a shedload of podcasts, and the one that truly stuck out for us, was The Dropout. Not familiar? The true crime series chronicled the insane life of Elizabeth Holmes, the former billionaire turned fraudster and jail dweller. 

As long as movies and TV shows have existed, books have been used as source material. That’s essentially why the Academy Awards has a Best Adapted Screenplay category–with so many of our favourite movies being based on the words of talented authors. 

Clear your viewing calendars for Friday 9 April, because the new terror anthology series, Them, will be dropping on your screens and trust us when we say you’re going to want to devour it in a single sitting.

When the docu-series, Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, dropped on Netflix back in March, the world was equal parts enthralled and confused by the peroxide mulleted, gun-toting, occasional country singer turned big cat keeper. 

There are just some shows that just feel like a warm hug. You fall in love with the characters, laughing and crying alongside them as they triumph and fall—Younger is absolutely one of those shows (yes, we do occasionally stray from true crime viewing).

First off, let's start with some sad news—producers of Killing Eve have just announced that after four seasons, the series will officially wrap. But, wipe those tears away guys because the great news is that a spin-off series is already in development.

In the world of TV series, few have captured our hearts quite like Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia. And we’re not alone, the series clocked 15 consecutive days at number one on the streaming service—that’s a feat only achieved by shows like Tiger King, The Queen’s Gambit and Ratched. 

We're more than ready for this.
