86 <strong>Style</strong> | Watch What to watch Think you’ve seen it all? Think again. Transplant (TVNZ OnDemand) You could be forgiven for thinking this is just another hospital television series. After all, in the first episode a truck ploughs into a restaurant and Syrian refugee and doctor Bashir Hamed (Hamza Haq), who works in the kitchen, is brandishing a drill within minutes. But this is one with a poignant narrative. The relationship between Bashir and his young sister Amira underpins it all, as he juggles raising her, keeping a roof over their heads, pushing down his own traumatic experiences in Syria, while managing a residency at York Memorial. His unique set of skills gained from working in a war zone are called into play, raising a few eyebrows among his colleagues. The series has a breadth of strong characters, including fellow resident Dr Magalie Leblanc (Laurence Leboeuf) and boss Dr Jed Bishop (John Hannah), whose head Bashir drills into during the first episode (but in a vein that is a relief from the stereotypical ones you often see in such series). It peels back the layers, exposing the frustration and terror immigrants face, alongside a slow telling of Bashir’s personal trauma as he struggles to keep it tightly under control. EDITOR KATE WATCHED Bad Blood (Netflix) It’s gangs, guns and drugs in a fast-paced, highly addictive Canadian crime drama that had audible gasps coming from my end of the couch. The mafia power struggle is real. Fuelled by money and revenge, series one is inspired by the antics of Montreal’s Rizzuto family. It gets more twisted as the episodes progress, with the Italian family’s loyalty and love getting tested time and time again. Series two sticks with organised crime but the stakes are raised higher. Departing from reality, it remains just as good, if not better – something that’s rare these days, let’s be honest. A new generation moves in and they are brutal. The characters are so good you can’t help but root for the bad guy. Heck, there aren’t any good guys anyway. I sure hope series three gets back on track soon – creator Simon Barry and writer Michael Konyves are on to a very good thing. Hamza Haq plays Syrian refugee and doctor Bashir Hamed in Transplant.

<strong>Style</strong> | Watch 87 DESIGNER RODNEY IS WATCHING Locke & Key (Netflix) After the shocking murder of her husband, grieving widow Nina Locke and her three children, Tyler, Kinsey and Bode, move to Massachusetts to take up residence in the old Locke family estate. It is there that the children begin to uncover a series of mysterious, magical keys, each with incredible, realitybending powers. It soon becomes apparent, however, that an evil entity is looking for the keys for their own nefarious purposes and will stop at nothing to obtain them. Based on the series of graphic novels by Joe Hill (son of the legendary Stephen King) and Gabriel Rodriguez, Locke & Key is a good family-friendly watch if you’re looking for something to fill the void left by Stranger Things, and, with a second season on the way, the spooky Locke estate might just be worth a visit. Event season viewing Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened (Netflix). Now is a good time to watch this classic from last year, which will tell you exactly what not to do when holding an event. Touted as a luxurious festival, punters were left with pale cheese sandwiches instead. Get Organised with The Home Edit (Netflix). Have friends and family coming to stay? Watch this and either be inspired or increase your anxiety, as expert home organisers Clea and Joanna help celebrity clients contain their clutter. Say Yes To The Dress: Atlanta (ThreeNow). Because it is always entertaining watching other people’s drama during the stress of finding the perfect wedding dress. Well-aged The West Wing (TVNZ OnDemand). It’s timely to hark back to when Allison Janney, Rob Lowe, Martin Sheen and Bradley Whitford were pounding the hallways of power. The Mentalist (TVNZ OnDemand). We all started thinking we could read body language after this. We couldn’t. Black Books (Netflix). Bernard Black in his bookshop, drinking far too much red wine while yelling obscenities at his customers, remains highly entertaining viewing. The IT Crowd (Netflix). A cult classic about the antics of a socially inept London-based IT department. Intriguing Keeping Faith (Acorn TV) The Salisbury Poisonings (TVNZ OnDemand) Fight to Survive (TVNZ OnDemand)
