New Shows

[Optimist]

Thanks. I've just been able to confirm that 10 is the last for season 1, although some fools are claiming there's an E11.

A second season has not been decided on yet, but the series remains popular.

Re availability - it's also a pity that it takes bandwidth expense to get everything these days. For instance, I recently discovered the SM series Scorpion, but no ways I'm going to stream all further 71 episodes :-(

But I will catch up the Shameless episodes I never saw.

I'm also concerned about future availability, the Rand is becoming one of the worst purchasing currencies.

@Mods  -  please can you let Showmax know that they're missing the 10th episode for now, in case they don't know.

Episode 10 is now available. They were probably just waiting for it to arrive from the US.

I can't help wondering how many of these "First on Showmax series" such as Succession & Reverie - which are generally receiving good reviews, especially Succession which has already been renewed for a 2nd season - we would have seen on DSTV if we still had M-Net Edge (or something similar). I believe people without any online access to watch series are missing out on some very good content simply because of broadcasting slot availability.

BTW, as E10 was only shown this week in the States, it's possible there's even more episodes.

This was actually already listed in the channel highlights thread, I mentioned there that they had a terrible synopsis and gave a better one.

They've loaded episodes 1 to 9, and no. 9 has the correct episode name - "The Key".

I've attached a pic of the Wiki episodes listing which confirms.

Thanks :-)

@JeanP thanks for the heads-up - just watched episode 1 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fantastic new show. Hard Sun

Thursdays 22:00 on M-Net episode 1 and 2 is on Normal CU 

Hard Sun is a pre-apocalyptic crime drama set in contemporary London. The protagonists are two mismatched police officers, Charlie Hicks and Elaine Renko who stumble upon proof that a mysterious cosmic event will destroy the earth in five years, a fact the government is trying to keep secret to avoid complete anarchy. The duo is pursued by MI5 operatives who are trying to silence them for good.

The City And The City has now been confirmed as having 5 episodes, by MC.

It so happens that accidentally (or for the first time correctly, who knows), tonight's episode 4 is on CU instead of CU+ , and so it gives a total episodes number.

And thanks for putting it on at least an hour and a half early MC.

It's so nice when that at times backwards dept. mixes up things in our favour :-p

@Optimist - we see you
