What we're watching?

Poker Face
"This show is so smart and funny and kooky, just like its crime-solving heroine Charlie Cale. The second season hit the ground running with another improbable howdunnit for Charlie to solve and it features Cynthia Erivo playing not one, not two, not three, but five different characters, and it is SO MUCH FUN. I can't wait for the rest of the season and the rest of the starry cameos. The show is so smartly crafted and there's so much to love about it, not least of which is the delightful convenience of its case-of-the-week format, which allows you to drop in on the show at any time. But the overarching plot of Charlie on the run gives the show an extra edge of suspense and surprises. An absolute must-watch!"

Watch Poker Face season 2 on Fridays at 20:00 on M-Net channel 101 or catch up on DStv Stream here.

MobLand
"With such an incredible cast, this show was not a hard sell, but I did not expect to love it as much as I do. I'm absolutely hooked for every minute. It's tense and dark and crazy and surprisingly funny, and you start feeling a lot of sympthy for characters that don't deserve it. It's very Sopranos in that sense, but this is completely unique, thanks in part to its location, which gives it an entirely different flavour. The writing is so simple and elegant. It does so much and draws you back for more answers every episode."

Watch MobLand season 1 on Thursdays at 21:00 on M-Net channel 101 or catch up on DStv Stream here. 

Elsbeth
"Elsbeth’s nosy nature brings so much humour, but that is what helps her solve cases even faster. She has this innocent thing to her, but always manages to outsmart the perpetrator. As for her outfits, I eagerly look forward to see what she comes up with each week."

Watch Elsbeth season 2 on Fridays at 19:00 on M-Net channel 101 or catch up on DStv Stream here.

Landman
"This is the drama I need in my life. I love Tommy’s one-liners, he simply cracks me up every time. As for Cooper, I’m so rooting for him and Ariana to seal the deal. I didn’t know I’d learn roughneck slang this fast, so calling new workers, worm ... And can we talk about how good Ali Larter looks!? She has not aged a single day since the early 2000s ... like, how?" 

Watch Landman season 1 on Mondays at 21:00 on M-Net channel 101 or catch up on DStv Stream here.

Last Week Tonight With John Oliver
"The hostus with the mostus, John Oliver, makes anyone laugh when they want to cry thinking about global affairs. The comedian pointed out that less than a month of Donald Trump's second term as president of the USA already feels like an eternity. In his first episode, Oliver unpacked what has happened thus far, including USAID's outright dismantling, leaving only 12 employees in all of Africa; and described X owner, Elon Musk, who seems to be Trump's right hand man, as a "parasitic freak".
