In a world where we have so much incredible content and so little time to watch it, it makes sense to watch only the very best TV drama, said Walter.Until now, much of it lay hidden or scattered across the globe but Ive solved that problem and brought it together in one easy to navigate streaming channel. Here you will find exquisite series that you can watch whenever you want, all of which have been blockbuster hits in their native countries. Dramas of outstanding quality which Im passionate about and proud to include in our collection.

VALKYRIEN (Norway): https://vimeo.com/205958091
This tense thriller is set in an illegal, secret underground hospital where a surgeon who is desperate to save his dying wife and a resourceful doomsday prepper forge an unlikely partnership to treat patients from the criminal underworld and those who need to stay off the grid. 
 
In a world of fake news, this pertinent political drama explores the intense rivalry between two spin-doctors, the seasoned master (Bruno Wolkowitch) and his protége (Grégory Fitoussi). Both men are willing to manipulate the truth to ensure their candidate will win the snap election which is called after the president is suddenly killed.
