Somebody Somewhere (Disney+ Hotstar) RT Score: 100% Comedian Bridget Everett takes us through a rollercoaster of emotions as Sam, a middle-aged woman battling a midlife crisis and dealing with the loss of her sister.

Yellowjackets (Voot) RT Score: 100% A Lord of the Flies-inspired series, Yellowjackets follows a team of New Jersey high school soccer players who have to fend for themselves for 19 months after their plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. Beware though; dark, gritty and sharp, this one is not for the faint-hearted.

Lula Rich (Amazon Prime Video) RT Score: 100% Not exactly a TV series but a true-crime documentary, this four-part Amazon Prime series focuses on the fashion brand LulaRoe, which while billed as a mass-market fashion brand turns out to be a pyramid scheme.

Abbott Elementary (Disney+ Hotstar) RT Score: 98% Starring recent Emmy winner, Quinta Brunson, Abbot Elementary sets itself up as a classic sitcom mockumentary but with a twist. The HBO show follows a group of passionate, yet complicated teachers dealing with their tone-deaf principal. Applauded for giving us an unflinching look at the lives of American teachers, this one should be on your watchlist.
