April is a pretty commitment heavy month for most people.

Which means that down-time becomes precious.

Nothing helps you to recuperate more than confining yourself to your couch, with snacks and some stellar series to binge-watch.

To get you on your way, here’s a list of the five top international series currently available on Showmax.

Starting with:

Luther Season Five

Status: Binge now

A new spate of nightmarish murders once again forces detective John Luther (Idris Elba) to face the depths of human depravity on the streets of London.
