IF YOU HAVE 23 MINUTES ...

Watch: An episode of Rick and Morty, Season 4

What's it about? Adult animation's most irreverent and off-the-wall mix of crude humour and out-there surrealism begins its fourth season with the always brilliantly entertaining adventures of mad scientist misanthrope Rick and his bumbling not-too-smart but well-intentioned grandson Morty. 

Where to stream it? Showmax. New episodes available on Mondays.

IF YOU HAVE 95 MINUTES ...

Watch: The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbruch

What's it about? A broad-humoured, very Jewish comedy about the quest of one Orthodox Jewish man to find a woman who doesn't look like his mother. This Swiss-German romantic comedy has plenty of predictable but enjoyable culture-shock laughs. Watch the trailer here.

Where to stream it? Netflix

IF YOU HAVE 6 HOURS ...

Watch: Ad Vitam

What's it about?A slow-burning French dystopian drama, this layered and entertainingly thoughtful show investigates a future in which a group of investigators must race against the clock to figure out what's behind a disturbing spate of teen suicides.

IF YOU HAVE 10 HOURS ...

Watch: The Man in the High Castle, Season 4

What's it about? In its final season, the dark and gritty Philip K Dick-inspired series continues the fight against fascism and the threats posed by the manipulation of history. With plenty of twists and diabolical turns, it's a binge-worthy series that combines dramatic plotlines and performances with a subtle political message that resonates for our increasingly uncertain times.

Where to stream it? Amazon Prime Video
