Nothing says relaxation like curling up on the couch to watch a riveting series. While summer days are ideal for getting out and exploring, summer nights are also the perfect time for binge-watching series. Plus, with the seemingly never-ending national lockdown, you’ll have loads more time to enjoy your couch and your TV this month. Not sure what to watch on Showmax? Here are our picks for the best international series coming to the streaming platform in November.
HACKS S1 | Binge now
Comedy-drama series Hacks centres on legendary Las Vegas comedian Deborah Vance, who takes on an entitled, down-on-her-luck Gen Z comedy writer in a bid to find fresh material and remain relevant as her performance dates start to dwindle.
Starring Jean Smart as Deborah is a series for comedy fans who love a darker brand of humour. Hacks deftly balances its sharp critiques of the comedy world with more intimate moments.
I HATE SUZIE S1 | Binge now
Suzie Pickles, a star on the wane, has her whole life upended when her phone is hacked and a photo of her in an extremely compromising position is released for the whole world to see. This excruciatingly honest show follows the various stages of Suzie’s trauma episode by episode, through shock, denial, fear, shame, bargaining, guilt, anger, and acceptance as Suzie and her best friend and manager Naomi try to hold her life, career, and marriage together in the face of being exposed for who she truly is. But who the hell even is that?
