The Mindy Project (Presto)

The first three and a half seasons of this romantic/workplace sitcom dropped on Presto on April 1, and the back half of season four is fast-tracking from the US every Tuesday. Creator Mindy Kaling stars as Mindy Lahiri, an obstetrician and gynaecologist who’s trying to get her career off the ground and looking for love.

Containment (Stan, April 20)

When a deadly virus breaks out in Atlanta, the city is quarantined, and its citizens become separated from their loved ones. From Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries and The Originals), and David Nutter (Game of Thrones, The X-Files), new episodes will be fast-tracked from the US every Wednesday.

E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (Netflix, April 20)

This 1982 Spielberg film about an alien who becomes stranded on Earth introduced the world to Drew Barrymore. More importantly, its themes of friendship and tolerance resonated with audiences worldwide, and this classic is a great choice for family movie night.
