Doom Patrol

From Batwoman to Supergirl, Binge offers a variety of superhero shows, but nothing is quite like Doom Patrol: it’s a bonkers sci-fi drama about a group of rejected super-powered people dealing with their decade long-festering trauma.

Narrated by a fourth-wall-breaking cocky, self-righteous villain (Alan Tudyk), the show follows actor Brendan Fraser as a former race-car driver’s brain inside a robot body, Matt Bomer as a 1960s in-the-closet gay pilot with a celestial being trapped inside him that wants to “come out”, April Bowlby as a former Hollywood actress who fled the scene after she started turning into a blob when stressed, Diane Guerrero as a woman with 64 different personalities (and powers!), and Jovian Wade as a teen turned cyborg. Believe us when we say, it’s clever, weird and wildly entertaining.

I May Destroy You

I May Destroy You is a life-changing drama by comedian Michaela Coel about a woman who begins to re-evaluate everything in her life after she’s sexually assaulted in a nightclub. A heavy content warning for sexual abuse here, this show hits you hard and doesn’t stop confronting you with the horrific experience of abuse and the corrosive effect it has on your surroundings, but it’s essential viewing, nonetheless.
