Squid Game | Marca

Squid Game: Not surprisingly the first on the list, if you haven’t seen Squid Game yet, then now’s the time to do so. Follow a group of heavily indebted South Koreans in their journey to win 45.6 billion won () by simply playing children’s games.

The ten-part series follows the sisters as they attempt to get revenge on their newly-discovered corrupt family. You’ll need to pay full attention to follow the plot through the drama and intense actions, so you don’t miss anything.

Maid | Imdb

Maid: An excellent film on domestic violence, Maid is next on our list of the top ten movies to binge-watch on Netflix this weekend. The film tells your typical domestic violence story, the difference being that the abuse is more emotional than physical. It’s a great twist that serves as an eye-opener.

The movie follows a young mom who flees an abusive relationship with her child and for survival, takes on a job cleaning houses. It provides insights on tell-tale signs of abuse and finally provides a happy ending, proof that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.

The Smart Money Woman | Instagram

The Smart Money Woman: You can have a good time while getting financial advice in The Smart Money Woman. The film remake based on Arese Ugwu’s 2016 best selling novel follows five millennial women striving for success.

Swallow: Set in 1980 Lagos, Swallow tells the story of a young woman Tolani who, waylaid by life’s pressures, turns to drug trafficking to make end’s meets. Adapted from Seffi Atta’s 2008 book and directed by Kunle Afolayan, the movie features the likes of Deyemi Okanlawon, Eniola Badmus and Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha.

It is a reality of the Nigerian society and its economic woes, which forces a lot of youths to turn to a life of crime.

Alice in Borderland | Rottentomatoes

Alice in Borderland: If you loved Squid Game, then you should check out Alice in Borderland. With two seasons, the Japanese sci-fi is based on a manga of the same name.

It follows a group of gamers stuck in a strange, emptied-out version of Tokyo in which they must compete in dangerous games to survive. The chances of survival are slim to none, and winning one game grants them immunity (visas) from playing other games for only a few days. Expect the unexpected!

King Of Boys | Netflix

King of Boys: The Return of the King: Oba (Shola Shobowale) is back and ready to take her throne in King of Boys 2. The powerful businesswoman returns from exile with one goal in mind, to take over political power as the next Governor of Lagos.

The sequel follows Eniola Salami (Oba) as she navigates politics and Godfatherism to emerge victorious while battling for her rightful place as the King of the Underworld.

Omo Ghetto The Saga: First released in 2020, Omo Ghetto The Saga follows the story of a twin with contrasting lifestyles. With one refined and sophisticated, the other could not have been more different as the Ghetto Queen and leader of the Askamaya twins.

The star-studded film has been described as an ‘ode to gangsterism in the slums’ by the Premium Times.

Castle & Castle: Nothing says drama than a story centred around a top law firm. The series set in a law firm owned by Remi and Tega Castle follows the struggles to keep the company afloat despite marital and occupational differences among the couple.

Featuring the likes of Dakore Akande, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Denola Grey and Dorcas Shola Fapson, to mention a few, Castle & Castle should definitely get on your binge-watch list this weekend.

You | Rotten Tomatoes

You: As Netflix releases season 3 of its psychological drama You, it’s just in time of the weekend. The highly addictive show follows sociopath Joe, his obsession and just how far he is willing to go for the woman of his dreams.

If you love a good romance-horror story, then here’s something to get you set for Halloween.
