Whether it’s the latest sci-fi epic, terrifying horror flick, offbeat Korean hit, reality TV cringefest or true crime doco, we’re on a continuous hunt to find the best shows and movies that are actually worth watching – and we’re sharing our latest finds below.

While some of these picks may not be as recent as others featured here, every one comes with a personal seal of approval from one of the Tom’s Guide Australia team. Here's what we recommend:

Sweet Tooth (Season 3) | Action/ Sci-Fi | 48 minutes per episode

Sweet Tooth (Season 3) | Action/ Sci-Fi | 48 minutes per episode

On a dangerous adventure across a post-apocalyptic world, a lovable boy who's half-human and half-deer searches for a new beginning with a stern protector.

If you're interested in starting a dystopian series that'll have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, Sweet Tooth is my top pick. This show will give you the highest of highs while dealing some pretty low blows; but the show all around is totally loveable and you'll be rooting for Gus, Big Man and their crew from the get-go. Plus, the Season 3 finale is the most satisfying ending you could ever ask for with a bittersweet show like this. —Lucy Scotting, Staff Writer.
