Dying For Sex.

Dying For Sex is a revolutionary new series that is both wildly entertaining and emotionally captivating.

The show is based on the podcast series of the same name and both tell the true story of a woman named Molly, who is diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. After hearing her diagnosis, Molly decides to radically blow up her life, leaving her husband, who has become more like her carer over the years, and embarking on a journey of sexual exploration with a series of new partners.

While the series weaves its way through a number of sexual exploits, kinks and fetsishes, none of these scenes ever feel exploitative. Instead, the viewer is drawn so fully into Molly's world that her thoughts on death and fears that still plague her from her childhood all come together in a captivating story that beautifully plays out across the eight episodes.

Michelle Williams has always been a superb leading lady, but she is particularly strong in the role of Molly, bringing a brilliant level of nuance and humour to a character going through such a transformation.

The other strength of Dying For Sex is Jenny Slate as Nikki, Molly's best friend who takes over her care when she decides to embark on this new sexual journey. It's so rare to see female friendships depicted with such care and realism on screen, and the show is worth watching for Molly and Nikki's dynamic alone.

While Dying For Sex does include some confronting moments, this new series is well worth your time.

Dying For Sex premiered on Disney+ on April 4.

Novocaine No Pain.

Jack Quaid, you will always be famous and important to me. And in this instance, also the lead star of a movie.

Quaid is the very best nepo baby — the child of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid — and he's having an incredible moment in the industry with The Boys, Companion and now Novocaine.

The film is an action comedy, following Nathan Caine (Quaid), a bank employee with the inability to feel pain. When his co-worker Sherry Margrave (Amber Midthunder) is taken hostage by a group of bank robbers, he sets out to rescue her.

It's light, it's fun, and it proves Jack Quaid truly is a star. This might not be the most amazing movie you'll ever see, but it's a good time.

Novocaine premiered in cinemas on April 3.

The Stan Original Dating Series Love Triangle, season three.

The Stan Original Dating Series Love Triangle is back for season three, bringing us a new dating show we will all absolutely be tuning into.

The premise remains deliciously messy — five singles choose between two potential partners they've never actually seen, then shack up with their first choice before the second option arrives to destroy whatever semblance of happiness they've manufactured. Because nothing says "healthy relationship foundation" quite like starting with emotional whiplash.

This season is going to be extra spicy, with previous MAFS contestant, Mike Gunner returning for what's looking like a redemption arc? Only time will tell.

The Stan Original Dating Series Love Triangle season 3 premieres on Stan on April 6.

Stop whatever streaming hole you're currently spiralling down because Netflix's first English-language medical drama Pulse is about to take over your life. Dropping April 3 this sexy doctor extravaganza takes us right back to those early days of Grey's Anatomy — what a time to be alive.

Set in Miami's busiest trauma centre during a hurricane (because apparently regular hospital drama isn't stressful enough), Pulse follows Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) who gets thrust into leadership when the ridiculously attractive Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell) gets suspended. And YES, they're totally hooking up because what's a medical drama without forbidden workplace romances?!

Created by the mastermind behind Lost, this steamy 10-episode thrill ride promises all the hallway makeouts, medical miracles, and workplace sexual tension we've been desperately missing.

Pulse premiered on Netflix on April 3.

Body In The Snow: The Trial of Karen Read.

I watch a lot of true crime and it can feel a bit same-same, but this four-part series had me hooked from the first episode. 

The documentary A Body in the Snow delves into the mysterious death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe, who was found dead in the snow in 2022.

The docuseries features candid interviews with his girlfriend, Karen Read, who was accused of hitting him with her SUV and leaving him to die. 

But Karen has many defenders, including a vocal internet fandom led by a quirky citizen journalist. Karen's defence team alleges a law enforcement cover-up, claiming O'Keefe was beaten inside a fellow officer's home before being left outside. And there's a text to prove it. 

Believe me, you won't know who to believe in this twisted case, as I jumped from being on Team Karen to the Boston Police every episode. Dig in!

Body In The Snow: The Trial of Karen Read premiered on Binge on April 1.
