Love Island 6

On this late night risqué reality show, a group of singletons must choose their partners wisely – in order to avoid being dumped - both by their potential lovers and from the show.

In between beach bonfires and intimate dinners some shock eliminations and new arrivals ensure constant unpredictability and rivalry for the Islanders.

And once contestants leave the island, the remaining singles must re-couple or risk being sent home.

Now Love Island returns - this time right here in South Africa - as another sizzling line-up of singles head to the brand new luxury villa in Cape Town.

Laura Whitmore will present the main show, which airs every night at 11pm.

As they flirt, date, break up and make up the Islanders will be trying to capture the hearts of each other - and the UK voters - as the viewers decide their favourite couple and declare them the Love Island 6 winners.

So whose heads will be turned? Who will be dumped from the Island? And who will couple up and be in with a chance of winning a share of the £50k prize money?

Immigration Nation

Channel: Netflix South Africa
TX Time: 10h00 (all episodes)
Genre: Documentary Series

Immigration Nation

With unprecedented access to ICE operations, as well as moving portraits of immigrants, this docuseries takes a deep look at US immigration today.

Filmmaking team Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau offer an unprecedented look at the processes, pitfalls and pain of immigration in America.

Shot over the course of three years, Schwarz and Clusiau capture the daily workings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, activists, lawmakers, attorneys and a wide swath of undocumented immigrants, from desperate recent arrivals to longtime residents to deported US military combat veterans.

With an unrelenting flow of migrant workers continuing across the US border, the pressure on ICE to enforce the administration's zero-tolerance policies puts immigrants in the crosshairs.

But how do we fix a system that seems beyond repair?

How do we apply common sense to something that's evolved from one of humanitarian concern to an us-versus-them political flashpoint?

Has the story of America - the one that inspired immigrants to risk death for a better life - been rewritten so broadly that the "land of the free" is a luxury afforded now only to a few?

As ineffective deterrence and militarised tactics continue, Immigration Nation provides an urgent portrait of a country in crisis; one that demands unflinching attention and action.

Evil

A psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion.

Forensic psychologist Kristen Bouchard is hired by the Catholic Church to work with David Acosta, a priest-in-training, and contractor Ben Shakir, to determine whether a serial killer is possessed by a demon or merely a psychopath.

Kristen finds that she has a taste for the work and is invited to join the team on a permanent basis.

The series focuses on a skeptical female psychologist who joins a priest-in-training and a contractor as they investigate the Church's backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions and hauntings.

Kristen Bouchard cuts ties as an expert witness for the District Attorney after being pushed to lie in court regarding an alleged murderer who appeared to be possessed.

To make ends meet, Kristen accepts a job offer from David Acosta, a former adventure-seeking journalist now studying to be a priest and tasked by the Church to assess unexplained phenomena.

Rounding out the trio is Ben Shakir, an even-tempered realist recruited by Acosta for his carpentry skills, which he uses to uncover practical rationales behind "hauntings."

Ever logical, Kristen is certain science can provide answers to every incident they encounter - including her own chillingly real night terrors.

That is, until she meets Leland Townsend, a sinister man who oozes menace and threatens her and her four young daughters.

Undeterred, Kristen, David and Ben set out to assess inexplicable events to see if there's a logical explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.
