6 shows to binge on Showmax this Easter weekend

Since it is Easter, The Bible is a must-watch for anyone looking for spiritual nourishment especially as it tells the greatest story ever told. An Emmy Award nominee, The Bible kicks off with the story of Noah and his Ark who takes on the mantle to narrate the story of how the world was created, including Adam and Eve arcs. Of course, it follows through with Abraham’s story and other major figures in the Old Testament including Moses and the Red Sea before moving on to tell the story of Jesus in the New Testament – from his birth to resurrection which is the true meaning of Easter.

If you like The Bible, you might enjoy Vikings, also available to stream on Showmax.com.

Imagine a world where governments no longer exist, instead, the world is ruled by powerful multinational corporations who tell you “when it’s okay to breathe and when not to.” One man, Ben Larson (Sean Teale, Reign and The Bible), dares to stand against them as he goes on a dangerous mission by infiltrating the biggest corporation in the world, rises to a top position to fight the enemy from within and rescue the love of his life.

Good ol’ The Wire, the show that inspired the popular “You Don’t Say” meme, which has been passed around since the world discovered memes. The Wire unapologetically strips down the city of Baltimore, taking us deep into the drug-stricken streets and the dangerous tug of war between drug dealers and law enforcers. One unmissable face is the young cornrowed Michael B. Jordan who plays 16-year-old drug dealer Wallace.

I don’t know about you but an amusement park to live out your fantasies (however dangerous or depraved) without any consequences sounds like the kind of thrill, weirdness and recklessness that makes for good TV. Although artificial intelligence is slowly becoming a reality, Westworld taps further into the future by pitting humans against robots where the latter are mere park hosts who offer thrill seekers and adventurers an opportunity to indulge in their fantasies without any retaliation from the hosts. Of course, no system is ever perfect.
