What to watch on Netflix and ShowMax this weekend

With March’s many long weekends behind us, it’s back to two day weekends and five day weeks for South Africans.

Netflix, in its benevolence, waited until Thursday to drop Doctor Who and Sherlock into its South African catalogue.

It’s almost like it knew we would get nothing done over Easter with six seasons of the BBC’s best shows available to us.

Now that your Easter family commitments are handled, nothing need stand in the way of your weekend binge.

These are the latest-and-greatest shows and movies on Netflix and ShowMax in South Africa, released this week for your viewing pleasure.
