The riveting original series Top of the Lake was set in the fictional New Zealand locale of Lake Town. In this second series, set four years later, Elisabeth Moss returns as Sydney- based detective Robin Griffin. She's back on her regular beat when the body of a woman is discovered in a suitcase. For Robin, this case has personal significance, as the victim may somehow be connected to the daughter she gave up for adoption. Director Jane Campion doubles down on misogyny in conspiratorial form, and like the original, we bear witness to its chilling repercussions. AC

Our favourite law firm returns with the final episodes of its seventh season, filled to the brim with all the drama fans love. Louis (Rick Hoffman) and Harvey (Gabriel Macht) struggle to keep their firm running smoothly amidst the consequences of Jessica’s (Gina Torres) departure and their rocky personal lives. Mike (Patrick J. Adams) and Rachel (Meghan Markle) test their commitment to each other and to the firm as they plan for their future together. Six highly suspenseful episodes that will have you on the edge of your seat, and rushing to brush up on your legal jargon. SB

Things are looking grim, brothers – the sixth season is the last for this popular series. Following the adventures of Nick Burkhardt, a Grimm that finds and hunts down the supernatural Wesen, the final season is full of unexpected surprises. Nick looks to be in big trouble with the mayor, and must wriggle his way out of a tough situation without exposing his double life as a Grimm, all the while battling dark forces. Whether you’re just jumping in now or have been along for the ride since the very beginning, Grimm has never been better. Don’t cry because it’s over – smile because it happened. AK

Following its war for independence, the newly declared USA consisted of 13 colonies along the east coast of North America. For this fledgling country, the west was still out of bounds. With Leonardo DiCaprio onboard as executive producer, this four-part documentary series details the pivotal figures involved in the nation's westward expansion. Famous figures like Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clark and Davy Crocket feature, and the impact on Indigenous tribes is also explored – primarily through the eyes of Shawnee Chief Tecumseh, who united the Native Americans and also formed an alliance with the British.
