There’s no reason to leave the house when there’s this much to stream from the comfort of your living room. Want thrills? The new Stephen King series, The Outsider, will keep you on the edge of your seat. Looking for someone you can relate to? Issa Rae is back for Season 4 of Insecure, and Showmax is getting episodes express from the US! Then there are two new reality shows from Africa Magic: Mercy and Ike, and Judging Matters, coming a little later in the month.
Here are our picks:
Andrea is a seemingly-confident comedy writer, wife, and mom, with zero filters and a tendency to put her foot in it. This laugh-out-loud series is inspired by the life of creator and star Andrea Savage. Binge-watch the whole first season.
