Did you know that Showmax adds new series and movies every week? Just this month, subscribers have been treated to the launch of Secrets and Lies, Code Black, Superstore Season 2, the Ronaldo documentary, brand-new episodes of Mr Robot Season 3, express from the US, as well as CSI: Cyber and Victoria.
