Get up close and personal with Asia’s best Internet TV service – it’s free to try for 30 days, unlimited! That’s a whole month of free binge watching goodness up ahead. Are you ready?   

 

1.      The Killing

 

Watch this if you like David Lynch’s Twin Peaks . An addictive TV series following the case of murdered teen, Rosie Larsen takes unexpected twists and turns that’ll make you go, “Yup, he did it” and then “WHAT, IT WASN’T HIM?” Gripping stuff.

 

2.      Hannibal 

 

‘Certified Fresh’ with “a hearty helping of gorgeous gore, paired with a sweet side of twisted humor” by Rotten Tomatoes, Hannibal is an American psychological thriller–horror television series that’ll delight fans of the novel Red Dragon . For the ladies, Hugh Dancy is pretty delightful too.

 

3.      Modern Family

 

Shot as a mockumentary, this hit comedy series portray the brutally honest realities of the broken-merged-and-mixed relationships of three extended families and how they make their dysfunctional relationships work. Family dynamics with witty banter not your thing, fellas? It’s OK, there’s Sofia Vergara.

          

4.      New Girl

 

One loft apartment: 3 single guys and a new girl roommate. Nope, it’s not that kinda show. Zooey Deschanel stars as Jess – the quirky middle school teacher who is the star of this hit sitcom. Jess, Nick, Schmidt and Winston (her roommates) make for a lovable combo of friends. But be warned; only binge watch New Girl if you are ready for Zooey to push your glucose levels through the roof.

 

5.      Mission Impossible 1, 2 & 3  

 

You know what’s impossible? How Tom Cruise hasn’t aged one bit after all this time. Still impossibly action-packed and highly entertaining, the movie franchise adapted from the hit 60’s TV series of the same name remains a favourite in the Action genre. You’re now probably humming the theme song, aren’t you? AREN’T YOU?    

 

6.      The Help  

 

“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.” Probably one of the most powerful mantras EVER. The Help is an inspiring story about a collaboration between two unlikely friends from different sides of the racial spectrum that resulted in a poignant change in society. Watch this movie with a box of tissues, it pulls at the heartstrings.  

     

 

7.      The Americans

 

What do you get when you put together the 80’s, two faux-married KGB spies, suburban Washington DC and an FBI agent as a neighbour? THIS show and one hell of a storyline. Trust us when we say things get really complicated and awesome. And REALLY fast.

 

8.      Homeland

 

Is Sgt. Nicholas Brody a Terrorist? Is he not? CIA agent, Carrie Mathison (played by Claire Danes) is determined to find out. Even if that means sleeping with the enemy. Watch it if you like your shows fast-paced and politically thrilling. Also watch it for Claire Danes’ amazing ‘cry face’.    

 

9.      The Good Wife

 

“A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong it is until it's in hot water.” Was Eleanor Roosevelt talking about Alicia Florrick (played by Julianna Margulies), the publicly humiliated, scorned wife and main character of this highly acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning TV series? Highly possible.    

 

10.  Justice, My Foot. Look Out, Officer! Love on Delivery &

      The Mad Monk 

 

The King of Canto Comedy needs no introductions. So we’ll stop at that. Catch his movies back-to-back on iflix, happy Stephen Chow Marathoning!
