If you want to get the square eyes, let’s hook you up with every single critically acclaimed film, addictive TV series, and surprisingly awesome original content available this April. Below are the top picks from thousands of hours of content from Australia’s six major streaming networks. Click your provider from the list, home in on the must-sees, and get some sweet, sweet escapism.
Of particular note this month is the Fallout TV series on Prime Video. If you’ve never heard of the game franchise—possibly because you’ve been hiding under a rock, in a vault, with your fingers in your ears—here’s the basic gist. It’s 200 years after the nuclear apocalypse, and the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them above. Cue: drama, dogmeat, and death by posthuman super mutants.
