‘Countdown’ (Apple TV): There’s a new app in town and it’ll tell you exactly when you die. Once you’ve downloaded and entered your details in, it will not — under any circumstances — be deleted. Oh and if you try to alter plans to cheat death, you’ll die anyway. When one medical resident discovers the app and is given three days to live, she goes all-out to beat the prediction. It makes you think about what you are putting on your phone — and what repercussions that can have. Image Credit: IMDB

‘The Adam Project’ (Netflix): Time travel is not only possible and has been done, but someone has also messed with the timeline. When Adam (played by Ryan Reynolds) steals into the past to find his missing wife, he heads — accidentally of course — to his childhood home where he meets, yup, himself. Hilarious and heartwarming, this movie is a must-watch. Image Credit: Netflix

‘The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’ season 3 (Amazon Prime Video): And she’s back — the hilarious comic who fell from grace in the season two finale must now chew humble peppers. She’s been kicked off a comedy tour, gone into debt and been sleeping in a bar after closing time. Things can only go up from here for the marvellous Mrs Maisel. Image Credit: Amazon Prime Video

Complete with exorcisms off the net, beheadings and jump scares — this movie offers an interesting concept. Image Credit: IMDB
