I May Destroy You

This frank and provocative series explores the question of sexual consent in contemporary life and how, in our modern landscape of dating and relationships, we make the distinction between liberation and exploitation.

When a piece of her writing garners online acclaim, Arabella Essiuedu - easily distracted, non-committal and carefree - finds herself fêted as the 'voice of her generation', with an agent, a book commission and a helluva lot of pressure.

But when she is sexually assaulted in a nightclub, her life changes irreversibly and Arabella is forced to reassess everything: her career, her friends, even her family.

As she struggles to come to terms with what has happened, Arabella begins a journey of self-discovery.

In the series premiere, "Eyes, Eyes, Eyes, Eyes": After visiting her aspirational long-distance boyfriend in Italy, writer Arabella returns to London, where she is greeted by a deluge of frantic messages from her literary agents.

With a matter of hours left to finish a draft of her second book, she plans to pull an all-nighter - but is soon tempted to join a friend on a night out.

Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted 2

Not only does the second season start with the Chef Ramsay cooking in South Africa, but local chef Zola Nene accompanies him on his culinary adventure in KwaZulu-Natal.

In the series that emphasizes creating authentic local flavours, Zola and Ramsay cook up a culinary feast for a local isiZulu chief.

Their creations included braai'd fish, ushatini (tomato and onion salsa), ujeqe (traditional bread), chakalaka and pap and steak on the braai.

After the South African episode, the multi-Michelin-star chef and Ironman athlete continues his adventure across the globe, turning up the heat in Indonesia, Louisiana, Norway, India, Tasmania and Guyana.

This season, Ramsay journeys deep into the landscape of each place he visits, scaling mountains, battling three-metre waves, braving frigid temperatures and bushwhacking his way through the backcountry to forage for some of the finest ingredients in the world.

From swimming in great white shark-infested waters to participating in a traditional bull run, Ramsay risks life and limb in his biggest and boldest missions yet in order to achieve edible excellence.

Under the guidance of local experts and food legends he meets along the way, Ramsay partakes in culinary customs and learns about delicious delicacies and fresh flavours unique to each region.

Every ingredient he harvests, dish he tastes and person he meets will inspire him to create a recipe from scratch, intended to represent the heart of that culture.

Each episode concludes with Ramsay challenging himself during a final big cookout with a local food legend by his side, as they prepare a meal together for locals he met during his journey.

In the Season 2 premiere, "The Wilds of South Africa": Chef Ramsay gets up close with rhinos, giraffes, zebras and hippos in the dramatic wilderness of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, as he learns the secrets of the traditional cuisine of Zulu warriors and masters using a local "braai".

He leaps from a helicopter into the raging Indian Ocean, harvests mussels on treacherous rocks and immerses himself in the local township culture, all before cooking with local chef Zola Nene for a revered Zulu chief.

All seems fine until a shocking and personal death sets them on a collision course yet again.

The journey back to each other will cost both of them friends, family, and allegiances... and perhaps a share of their souls.

The third season starts with Eve attempting to rebuild her life having been shot and left for dead in Rome by Villanelle.

Villanelle, believing Eve dead, is also moving on. That is, until she is approached by an old foe offering her a brand new opportunity.

Or does he move back home to South LA, reunite with his mother, Grace, brother, Dillon, and play for his father, Corey - the new head coach for the South Crenshaw Chargers?

This isn't an easy decision for him to make because it's not just about football. It's about choosing between the people he loves.

No longer is Beverly Hills just some affluent place that represents his shot out of the hood.

Now, he has friends there, including his antagonist turned ally, Asher, who's fighting to hold on to his football dreams.

He has his girlfriend there, Layla, who's secretly battling her own demons.

And most importantly, he has a second family there in the likes of the Bakers - Billy, Laura, Jordan and Olivia - who are struggling to adapt to the new normal of their broken home.
