Get on the Edge of your seat with Must See TV from 20 October on M-Net

This year there won’t be any dry spell  for TV connoisseurs. M-Net’s brand new premium channel M-Net Edge, which is launches on Monday 20 October at 6pm, will be packed with a long list of bold, highly-acclaimed new series from Hollywood, as well as some iconic classics.

Herewith a quick summary of what will happen at what time:

Weekdays at 6pm:

On Monday, 20 October at 6pm the channel opens with Sleepy Hollow, Season 2.  This kooky drama reveals America’s secret supernatural history courtesy of Ichabod Crane and his nemesis The Headless Horseman who woke up in a sleepy town in the 21st century after more than 230 years. The series received the People’s Choice Award for best new drama in 2014.

On Tuesdays at the same time viewers can solve Major Crimes in this series’ third season.

On Wednesdays you need to watch out for the Stalker.

On Thursdays there will be new episodes of Criminal Minds Season 10 and Fridays at 6pm it’s time for the brand new Graceland.

Stalker stars Emmy and Golden Globe award winning Dylan McDermott as a detective at the Threat Assessment Unit of the LAPD, a team that’s called for cases involving harassment.

The title of the drama Graceland  does not refer to the famous residence of the King of Rock & Roll.  In this case, it’s the name given to a confiscated Southern Californian beach house where a group of undercover agents  from various law enforcement agencies in the United States, including the DEA, the FBI and the ICE live together.

For quick reference:

Mondays – Sleepy Hollow Season 2
Tuesdays – Major Crimes Season 3
Wednesdays – Stalker Season 1
Thursdays – Criminal Minds – Season 10
Fridays – Graceland Season 1

Weekdays at 20:00 will look like this:

Mondays – Defiance Season 2
Tuesdays – The Americans Season 2
Wednesdays – Satisfaction Season 1
Thursdays – Outlander Season 1
Fridays – Reckless Season 1

It’s all love and games in three brand new series in the weekday slots at 20:00. Satisfaction answers the question: what do you do when you all you have in life is not enough? This show is about a husband who finds out that his wife has an extra-marital affair with a male escort.

Outlander, which won the Critics’ Choice Award for most exciting series of 2014, is the mature love story of a nurse, who, in 1945, time travels to 18th century Scotland where she loses her heart to a dashing man. It’s based on the romance novel by Diana Gabaldon.

Reckless is set in the legal world where two very attractive adversaries are struggling to hide their mutual attraction while working on a scandalous case.

Then we’ll be transported into the future and a radically transformed Earth in season 2 of Defiance on Mondays, while Kerri Russel and Matthew Rhys return as The Americans on Tuesdays. Their characters are Soviet spies who pretend to be an average US married couple.

Weekdays at 21:00:

If you love superb series which shine at the Hollywood awards evenings you have to be on M-Net Edge at 21:00 on weekdays.  One of the biggest attractions on M-Net Edge is the much-awaited Orange is the New Black, which has received 12 Primetime Emmy nominations.

It’s a comedy drama about feisty female inmates and revolves around the bisexual Piper Chapman who is sentenced to fifteen months in prison for transporting drug money to her drug mule girlfriend.

Also make a note of the highly acclaimed Masters of Sex, for which Martin Sheen received a Golden Globe nomination. Masters of Sex tells the story of Dr William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the two researchers who became famous for pioneering research about human sexuality.

While Orange is the New Black will be screened on Wednesdays at 21:00 and Masters of Sex on Thursdays, Nurse Jackie will be fighting her addictions on Fridays. Edie Falco of course received an Emmy for this role.

On Mondays viewers can watch the fourth season of the multiple Emmy award winning American Horror Story and on Tuesdays it’s time for the HBO series Boardwalk Empire which has also nabbed numerous television awards over the years.
