If you don’t have the energy to sit through Disney’s Snow White remake—which just hit theatres today, stirring up more drama than a reality show—why not stay in and let OTT do the heavy lifting? This week’s streaming lineup is packed with everything from nail-biting crime sagas to wildly entertaining disasters, giving you plenty of reasons to ditch the cinema (and overpriced popcorn) for your couch.
From a detective solving a murder in the White House to a handbag narrating its own life story (yes, really), this week’s picks promise plot twists, scandal, and a whole lot of binge-worthy drama. So, grab your snacks, cancel your plans, and prepare for some top-tier storytelling—without ever changing out of your pyjamas.
If you liked Black Mirror for its eerie take on technology and society...
Watch Adolescence
Adolescence on Netflix feels like Black Mirror met Making a Murderer in a British high school, except this isn’t some distant dystopia, it’s terrifyingly real. What starts as a routine arrest of a 13-year-old boy spirals into a gripping deep dive into social media toxicity, masculinity, and the dark pull of incel culture. In an age where teenage boys binge-watch Andrew Tate and manosphere rants, this show serves as both a thriller and a warning.

If you loved Train to Busan and everything that Yeon Sang-ho makes...
Watch Revelations
For all the delulu girlies out there, Revelations is a cautionary tale from Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho.

If you loved Flow for its unexpected lead...
Watch Autobiografia di una Borsetta (Autobiography of a Handbag)
A handbag with a past? Autobiografia di una Borsetta gives life to a white Miu Miu Wander bag, weathered by time and rich with secrets. Traversing luxury boutiques and shadowy backstreets, it narrates its own journey through the hands of lovers, dreamers, and even a hitman. A blend of magic surrealism and biting social commentary, it’s a handbag’s-eye view of humanity—quirky, poetic, and deeply, unexpectedly moving.
