The Weekend is in full swing, and most of us are already making the most of them. Some of us are out enjoying ourselves with the family, while some are having a well-deserved “Me Time.”

Now, if you are in the mood to make this weekend even more memorable, here’s this week’s binge list to make your holidays worth every second.

Fool Me Once (Netflix) 

If you are a thriller enthusiast and have the itch to enjoy a classic “Who Done It”, then you must be familiar with Harlan Coben. With a lot of his work turning into life through your TV screens and even some turning to movies, the next exciting project that has been doing the rounds was “Fool Me Once”. 

Maya Stern (played by Michelle Keegan) has just lost her husband in a tragic incident and is now coming to terms with it, but things go haywire when she sees her husband in the flesh through a nanny cam set up in her living room.

Fool Me Once is a perfect weekend maker with enticing twists at every bend and many reasons to sit and finish the mini-series in one go.

Upload (Amazon Prime)

There has been a lot of talk about VR/AR and the golden word in every mouth and device; “AI”.

With the tech industry all in a race to put you into the virtual world, you can glimpse that near future with “Upload”.

This comedy-drama series is filled with hearty chuckles, witty comedy, and a thoughtful take on virtual reality and the future of technology. Although this concept has been explored through shows like ‘Black Mirror’ and ‘Love, Death and Robots’, this take is refreshing and easier as a concept to digest. 

In the year 2033, people upload themselves into a virtual world to experience the taste of immortality, but when Nathan (played by Robbie Amell) meets with an unexpected death and shifts to a VR world called “Lakeview,” he realises that things are not what they seem with the advancement of technology. 

With 3 seasons of absolute fun, you are in for quite a ride with this series.
