Hailing from Australia, whilst our options to entertainment have exploded in recent years, there are still holes to fill when it comes to what our friends in the Northern Hemisphere have access to. Without a subscription to traditional pay TV, watching hotly-anticipated television such as Big Little Lies, Game of Thrones or Batwoman is difficult, if not, impossible. In welcomed news this week however, Foxtel has answered our binge-watching prayers, with new Australian streaming service, Binge.

After a browse on the new platform, it follows the same format of our familiar friend, Netflix, however its content is different and fills the holes of what can’t be found elsewhere – at least its television offerings. Having just launched on May 25, it boasts series from HBO, BBC,FX, NBC Universal, ViacomCBS, Warner Bros, Discovery, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Media, Fremantle, Studio Canal, ITV, Paramount and more. Think Westworld, Watchmen, The Walking Dead, Mr. Robot and Baller. When it comes to film, a collection of Quentin Tarantino’s films are on Binge along with the Jason Bourne franchise.
