ZOMBODY SAVE ME (TVNZ On Demand)
Just a week after she quick-stepped her way into the final of Dancing With the Stars, comedian Laura Daniel returns to our screens in an all new reality show designed to push contestants to their limits. Daniels will host TVNZ's new reality format Zombody Save Me, which sounds like a cross between The Walking Dead and Survivor. Over the course of five days and five nights, eight Kiwi contestants will battle one another – and a "forest filled with ferocious night-walkers" – to try and win a $10,000 prize. The first two episodes will drop this Sunday, with double episodes released each week thereafter.
TALES OF THE CITY (Netflix)
Netflix's new LGBT series Tales of the City is hands down one of the best and most representative queer series to hit screens. It follows 25-year-old Shawna as she deals with the reappearance of her mother who left her when she was two. But it branches out to follow the wonderfully complex lives of all of the queer residents in Shawna's building, Barbary Lane. It's one of very few pieces to explore queer stories focusing on their sexuality, and without erasing their queerness either. These are just people trying to navigate love, life, politics and growing up - plus there's a little mystery added to the mix for good measure.
