With what’s going on in the world, we need TV more than ever. Mostly cause we’re needed indoors now more than ever.
With plenty of time at home, it’s definitely the best time to catch up on television and streaming services are offering a hefty variety of them to go around. We don’t know when all this is going to blow over but for now, here are some new series making their way to streaming services in April.
1. “Money Heist : Part 4”
First up, “Money Heist” or as it is known in its native tongue “La casa de papel” which translates to “House of Paper”.
