Hospital dramas are a prescription for pure entertainment. Whether it's about the relationships between the doctors, the nurses and their patients, the complicated cases - which are as intriguing as any detective drama - the tense and inherently dramatic surgeries, or those juicy personal drama and scandals behind the scenes, it's all so addictive. Now Showmax has the RX for your viewing needs...
WOUNDS
This local gem focuses not only on the wounds that get treated in the fictional Healing Hands Hospital, but also the inner wounds that the medical professionals - especially nurses - grapple with daily. Neo Masonda (Samke Makhoda) is the new intern nurse at Healing Hands but she's snuck in there using her sister Busiswe's identity because the skeletons in Neo's closet forced her to drop out of nursing school. Now she has to keep up this façade, but will she be caught?
Heart-breaking stories from fatal sickness to miscarriages will be part of this series' storylines that aim to tug at viewers' heart strings with a surgical precision, while it shines a light on the difficulties that our public hospitals face.
BINNELANDERS
Gossip spreads like wildfire and drama is always just around the corner in the halls of Binneland Clinic in the Afrikaans soapie Binnelanders. At Koster (Hans Strydom) rules the hospital with an iron fist, and there is nothing more important to him than his hospital and family. He will move heaven and Earth to protect those two, and he isn't above breaking the law (but keeping his hands clean) to ensure it.
