What To Watch
Ever wondered what goes through a drama obsessive's mind during those jaw-dropping moments? The GOAT's got thoughts—lots of them. From conspiracy theories about plot twists to brutally honest character assessments, these are the unfiltered musings straight from our resident chaos agent's brain.
NOTE FROM THE GOAT
"I’ve climbed a lot of mountains, but none as dramatic as these flicks. Strap yourself in, grab some popcorn and silence your phone—these are my picks to keep you entertained all summer long."
1/6
NCIS Sydney S3
The NCIS: Sydney crew return from their case-cracking in the Top End to solve local crimes that range from bonkers to nail-biting. Expect (alleged) alien abductions, treasure hunts, and a trip to Antarctica; all in the name of the law. Mostly.
“Finally, a team that works as hard as I do scaling mountains. The Sydney squad are pros under pressure, and they do it with perfect hair and better banter. You’ll get action, intrigue and shots of Sydney that make me question why I live so far from the water.”
Staying in may be the smartest move of the summer, hit play on Paramount+ range of ready to stream hits.
2/6
Landman S2
From Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, Landman dives deep into Texas’ booming oil scene, where fortune and failure are a match made in heaven. Billy Bob Thornton continues his A-game acting streak as he leads the charge in the world of billionaires vying for a slice of that oily jackpot.
“I’d call this series an apt drama about corporate greed dressed in spurs. Billy Bob’s as slick as a freshly waxed horn, and every episode drips with tension. The moral of the story? Don’t trust anyone holding a contract or a lasso.”
3/6
Mayor Of Kingstown S4
Jeremy Renner returns as Mayor of Kingstown’s main man, Mike McLusky, the sole power holding the town’s fragile pieces together. With head-diva Edie Falco joining the chaos, season four tackles the rising tension and intense consequences of ongoing gang wars in crime-addled Kingstown.
“Renner’s back, meaner than a mule and morally all over the place, and that’s all I’ve ever needed from a show.”
4/6
The Gilded Age S3
Return to 1880s New York, where the social elite battle for status and dominance under chandeliers and champagne. Season three of The Gilded Age ups the ante with fresh rivalries and fashion that could fund 50 thinkpieces on 1800s couture. Plus, put Cynthia Nixon and Carrie Coon in a TV show, and we’ll watch it three times in one sitting.
“Every character’s one bad decision away from social exile, and I’m far too invested. If you like drama of the lavish variety, this one’s pure gold.”
5/6
South Park S28
The bonkers, beanie-clad boys from Colorado return to roast everything from celebrity culture, certain public figures (ahem), and, yes, even streaming fatigue. Still deadly sharp, the world’s most unhinged animated misfits prove that no topic is off limits.
“I’ve seen a lot in my time on earth, but nothing compares to this crew. It’s outrageous, offensive, and yet somehow, I’m bleating uncontrollably. A perfect detox for anyone tired of polite TV.”
6/6
Mobland
Helen Mirren, Tom Hardy, and Pierce Brosnan in the one show? No wonder MobLand became Paramount’s breakout hit of the year, amassing 8.8 million viewers globally in its first week. Insert yourself into a heated feud between two mob families and watch, mouth agape, as double-crossings and power plays take centre stage.
“High stakes and low morals?
That’s my kind of party.”

Cold Pizza, Hot Takes
Hear us out—there's nothing better than kicking back with a reheated pizza and a good flick. Reheat in a frypan and add tabasco and sliced olives for a fancy kick.

NOTE FROM THE GOAT
"I take my snacking as seriously as my streaming. The wrong bite during a plot twist? Disaster. The right one? Pure cinema."
Great drama deserves great fuel, and The GOAT knows that the right snacks can make or break a binge session. From cocktails inspired by your favorite anti-heroes to late-night eats that won't distract from crucial plot moments, this is where streaming meets indulgence. Because let's be honest—every dramatic revelation hits harder with the right bite in hand, and The GOAT's got the recipe for the ultimate viewing party spread.
Snackable Bites
2/8
Plot Twist Popcorn
Butter, chilli flakes, lime zest, parmesan. Spicy enough to keep you from doom-scrolling.

Summer Snack Bites
Chilled mango cheeks with chilli salt and lime. Bright, bold, and guaranteed to cool you down when the action heats up.
4/8
Charcuterie Chips
Layer fancy potato chips with prosciutto, shaved manchego, guidillas, Sicilian olives, honey and lemon zest. Low on effort, high on drama.
8/8
Drama OnThe Rocks
Spicy margarita with lime and salt. Perfect for digesting betrayals, plot twists and chaos.
7/8
The Midnight
Espresso Martini
Equal parts caffeine and adrenaline. For when the finale drops and sleep is no longer an option.
6/8
The Cliffhanger Pour
A generous glass of red you swear is your last. Pairs best with “just one more episode."
5/8
The (C)anti-Hero
Stash a few fancy cans of rose or a spritz close-by. Portable for when the drama gets good and you can’t leave the couch.
