- Colin From Accounts S2 | Binge from Tuesday, 18 February
Rotten Tomatoes’ second-best romance series of last year, and third-best returning series overall, season two of the Australian comedy series picks up with Ashley and Gordon needing to work out whether they want a relationship … or if they just wanted a dog.
With season two, real-life couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall (who created, wrote and star in the show) have cracked a rare 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes for a second time, with the critics’ consensus saying it’s “as cranky, funny, and delightful as ever.”
In its 5/5-star review, The Guardian calls the show “an absolute joy to watch,” praising its “perfect blend of hard-edged laughs and genuine emotion,“ reiterating its season one review that called it “unfailingly funny, honest, acute, kind and really rather wonderful”, adding that it’s “better than ever” in season two.
The hit series has won three Logie Awards – Most Outstanding Comedy, and both Most Outstanding Actress and Actor for its leads – as well as the 2024 Australian Writers’ Guild Comedy Award.
While you wait, binge season one on Showmax.

- Suits: LA S1 | Mondays from 24 February (also on M-Net 101)

Teen Choice winner Stephen Amell (Arrow) stars as Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point, and to survive, he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career.

“Too stupid not to be true,” It’s Florida, Man brings to life unbelievable, ripped-from-the-headlines tales of the Sunshine State.

From the producers of The Righteous Gemstones, the six-part series has an 86% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

One of the top three most watched series on Max during its run, HBO has already renewed It’s Florida, Man for a second season.
- Red Eye S1 | Binge from Tuesday, 25 February

- Dawson’s Creek S1-6 | Binge from Friday, 28 February
Dawson’s Creek follows the lives, loves, and heartbreaks of four teenagers: Dawson, an aspiring filmmaker; his lifelong best friend, Joey; their rebellious friend Pacey; and city girl Jen, who shakes up their small-town world.
Created by Kevin Williamson (Scream), the show launched multi-award-winning careers for James van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams, who has gone on to earn five Oscar nominations. Even decades after its 1998 debut, fans are still debating whether Joey should have ended up with Dawson or Pacey.
Collider named Dawson’s Creek one of its 10 Most Rewatchable Teen Dramas, saying: “From the show’s idea of finding your platonic soulmate in your best friend, to the awakening that the first person you date may not actually be the person you end up with, a rewatch of Dawson’s Creek is a must.”
