We could all do with some excitement in our lives, and if that excitement comes in the form of a binge-worthy series, who&rsquo;s complaining?

ADAMAS

OG fans of K-dramas will recognise Ji Sung from Kill Me, Heal Me (2015). The accomplished actor is back in an intense double-role in ADAMAS, where he plays twin brothers trying to clear their father&rsquo;s name from a false murder charge. He stars alongside Seo Ji-hye, Lee Soo-kyung and Heo Sung-tae (the villainous Player 101 Jang Deok-su in Netflix&rsquo;s Squid Games) in the multi-genre drama. 
Directed by Park Seung-woo, this Korean series is dark and action-packed but also peppered with comedic moments. While not something that all of us might notice, those with a keen eye will also be able to see that the post-production work on ADAMAS takes the effect of the noir series to the next level, through careful CGI and sound production.
New episodes of ADAMAS air every Wednesday and Thursday night on Disney+.

Big Mouth follows Lee Jong-suk and Lim Yoona as a married couple, trying to unearth a huge conspiracy in South Korea. Directed by Oh Choong Hwan, who also directed Start-Up (2020) and Hotel Del Luna (2019), Big Mouth sees Lee Jong-suk playing mediocre lawyer Park Chang Ho swept up in a murder case, after which he takes on the role of a genius con artist by the name of Big Mouse. The drama is Lee&rsquo;s long-awaited comeback to the acting scene since the end of his mandatory military service and spotlights his acting prowess, combined with the thrilling intensity of the plot.
Starring alongside Lee Jong-suk and Lim Yoona are Kim Juhun, Ok Jayeon, Yang Kyungwon and Kwak Dongyeon. New episodes of Big Mouth are released every Friday and Saturday night on Disney+.

The Emmy-nominated series Only Murders in the Building stars Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez as a trio of devoted true-crime-podcast fans, who end up solving a grisly murder in their own New York apartment building, the snazzy, upscale Arconia. The first season saw the unravelling of the life of Mabel (played by Gomez), brought about by the death of resident Tim Kono. While each season is but 10 short episodes, the series takes the whodunit narrative to new heights with its intricately spun tales.
The last three episodes of the second season are scheduled to premiere every Tuesday on Disney+, giving you enough time to binge the first season and a half &mdash; just in time for the season finale.

Doctor Lawyer is a South Korean drama starring the acclaimed So Ji-sub as an elite surgeon who decides to become a lawyer specialising in medical crimes after he loses a patient to surgical malpractice. Like a courtroom drama, the series is riveting, with the life-or-death stakes of an operating room. Im Soo-hyang, Shin Sung-rok and Lee Joo-bin are leading characters in the medical and legal drama that covers issues of medical negligence that can impact countless lives in South Korea.
Catch all 16 episodes of Doctor Lawyer on Disney+.

Santa Evita centres around the perfectly embalmed corpse of the widely popular former First Lady of Argentina, Eva P&eacute;ron, after her death at age 33. Following her demise, her body awaits the completion of a mausoleum that will never see the light of day. But viewed as a potential symbol for rebellion, the Argentine military seized the body in 1955 and hid it from the public. Starring Natalia Oreiro as Eva P&eacute;ron, the miniseries was produced by Salma Hayek and is an enthralling blend of fact and fiction, brought to life through historical events.
