Discover hard-to-find dramas, comedies, and documentaries with TELUS Presents

During a typical summer, Canadians flock to the great outdoors the moment temperatures begin to climb. But in an effort to keep our bubbles to a minimum this summer, many of us exchanged that national pastime with binge-watching TV.

Problem is, with more of us at home this fall, we’ve already watched all our favourites, and attempting to find a new show in a sea of content options can feel exhausting.

Bloom (Stan – Australia)

The town’s secret is out as a battle between nature, science, and faith erupts.

COBRA (Sky – UK)

COBRA is a high-stakes drama that follows the British government as it handles an unfolding national emergency that threatens to engulf the country.

Aided by her best friend and manager, Naomi, Suzie tries to hold her life, career, and family together in the face of being exposed for who she truly is.

Save Me (Sky – UK)

An award-winning and critically acclaimed series, Save Me is the story of a most unlikely hero, Nelson ‘Nelly’ Rowe (Lennie James), and his search for Jody, his missing daughter. A daughter he hasn’t seen for thirteen years — more than half her life. Nelly’s a charmer, a chancer, a lover, a fighter, a liar.

Save Me Too (Sky – UK)
