Power is up for grabs as the Harrigans and Stevensons, two warring London crime families, clash in a kill-or-be-killed battle that threatens to topple empires and ruin lives.

- Showtrial S2 | Binge from Wednesday, 22 October on Showmax | Legal series
When high-profile climate activist Marcus Calderwood is left for dead in a violent hit and run, he uses his dying moments to apparently identify his killer: a serving policeman. But who is this unnamed “Officer X”? What does his own history reveal about the nature of trauma and revenge, and was Marcus’s death a careless accident or cold-blooded murder? As public outrage reaches fever-pitch, Showtrial questions if a fair trial is possible when tensions are riding so high, and if the truth is ever clear-cut.
The five-part series stars BAFTA winner Adeel Akhtar (Sweet Tooth, Four Lions, The Big Sick) alongside the likes of Screen Actors Guild nominee Joe Dempsie (Game of Thrones, Skins) and 2025 Black Reel nominee Tracy Ifeachor (The Pitt).
From the makers of Line of Duty and Vigil, season two has an 88% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Guardian calling it “tense and twisty.” The first instalment of the BBC anthology series was nominated for BAFTA and International Emmy Awards.

- Navajo Police: Class 57 | Binge from Thursday, 23 October on Showmax | Documentary series
Navajo Police: Class 57 follows the lives of a group of young Navajo police cadets as they fight to protect and serve people on the reservation. They must contend with rising crime and centuries of neglect to hold their community together.
Filmed over the course of a year, the Emmy-nominated HBO documentary miniseries is set against the sweeping backdrop of the Navajo Nation. The largest Indian reservation in the United States, it has a landmass the size of West Virginia, a population of more than 190 000 people, and just 180 police officers.
With pressure on the department to increase numbers, the Navajo Police Department has become the only tribal law enforcement agency in the country with its own Police Academy. All the recruits are Navajo and drawn from the community, but with an attrition rate of over 50%, the training officers have their work cut out for them.
