1. Somebody Somewhere, Season 3 – Binge (28 Oct)
Series. Somebody Somewhere follows Sam, a true Kansan on the surface, but, beneath it all, struggling to fit the hometown mould.

Anywhere. Somewhere.
In Season 3, we see growth against all odds – and if you’ve not seen Seasons 1 and 2 yet, they’re also on Binge currently. Starring Bridget Everett. Watch the trailer.
2. Candice Renoir – Acorn TV & AMC+ (28 Oct)
This ‘Corsica’ Feature Length Special is a good way into the (ever expanding) crime TV series without having to commit to a full season. What happens? Well, following their non-proposal, Candice and Antoine go on a honeymoon in Corsica.
They spent their savings on a dream stay in a luxurious hotel on a beach with turquoise waters. During dinner, a man notices Candice in her pretty flowered dress and her bright laugh – but perhaps the attention is a little too much?
Antoine gets into a fight with a man he thinks is a flirt, and the couple spends the night apart, deciding to go home. But the next day, the pseudo flirt is found dead in the trunk of the car.
Starring Cécile Bois.
