Whats New In Streaming This Week

Mad Dogs (Season One – Stan, April 22)

The entire highly acclaimed first (and only) season of US drama Mad Dogs arrives on Stan today just in time to binge over the long weekend. The series opens with five lifelong friends coming together to celebrate an important milestone in a luxury Belizean villa.  But their camaraderie doesn’t last long as old grudges resurface, secrets explode, and their trip to paradise quickly becomes a labyrinthine nightmare of lies, deception and murder.

The series features a great cast including Ben Chaplin (“The Thin Red Line,” “Murder By Numbers”), Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos,” “Goodfellas”), Romany Malco (“The Forty-Year-Old Virgin,” “Weeds”), Steve Zahn (“Dallas Buyers Club,” “Treme”) and Billy Zane (“Titanic,” “Twin Peaks”).

Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping (Netflix, April 22)

Netflix has a fantastic library of stand-up comedy, featuring comedians as diverse as Hannibal Buress, Kitty Flanagan and Greg Fleet. Comedian and prolific character actor Patton Oswalt is the focus of Netflix’s latest stand-up special, in which he discusses proms, Star Wars and baristas in San Francisco.

The Fast and the Furious; 2 Fast 2 Furious; Fast & Furious (April 22, 23 & 24)

If you prefer a movie marathon to a binge watch, Presto is dropping films 1, 2 and 4 in The Fast and the Furious franchise this weekend. 2015’s Furious 7 is already available on the streaming service, so you can have a high octane fuelled marathon this long weekend.

Comedy Showroom (ABC iView, April 27)

Over the next 6 weeks, the ABC will broadcast comedy pilots from some of Australia’s best comedic talent at 9pm on Wednesdays. You can watch all 6 pilots on iView from the evening of April 27, and vote for which ones you’d like to see made into a series. Comedy Showroom features work from Ronny Chieng, Lawrence Mooney, and Eddie Perfect.

Weekend binge-watch: Better Call Saul (Stan)

It’s a long weekend, so it’s the perfect time to watch the first two seasons of Better Call Saul on Stan. The prequel to Breaking Bad finished its second season this week, hinting at the return of a fan-favourite character and the possible end of Jimmy McGill’s law career.
