You will give viewers cold shivers

- Hein Kaiser

There is a handful of incredible shows available on the small screen that ought not to be missed.

You, season 2– Netflix

A tale of obsessive-compulsive infatuatio­n, of lust, of wanting to own someone.

Dark stalker series You

has launched a second season with a third on the way.

In season 1, Joe Goldberg comes across as a regular guy, a bookstore manager in New York, who falls in love with an aspiring author.

What transpires, though, is a darkly woven tapestry of pursuit and how he uses social media and technology to engineer a romance with Guinevere Beck, the author.

Season 2 sees Joe in Los Angeles, step and repeating a pattern set up by the first instalment.

You is wonderfull­y written, well performed and hovers in the creepy, spine chilling space.

Its is a twisted tale of irresistib­le proportion­s and is worthy of a binge-watch, without a shadow of a doubt.

The Good Place – Netflix

A whack job of a comedy, it ramps up to a bit of a slow start but is deliciousl­y corny.

The Good Place is the town where you go after you die. That is, if you have been a good person.

Overseen by Archangel Michael, played by Ted Danson, you are homed in a house or apartment that matched your earthly life and character.

When Eleanor arrives, she realises she has been mistaken for someone else, and should never have been there in the first place.

We see her try and justify her spot, her adventures, her friendship­s and confidants as well as the curious collection of characters in the mix.

It is funny, mindless entertainm­ent and storyline never gets tired.
