What to watch when you’ve been dumped
The two times of year when most couples split up are the end of summer and the end of winter, according to sociologists. We’re somewhere between those two seasons at the moment, which makes it fairly likely that some of you reading this post have been dumped recently – or are about to be. (Sorry.)
Once you’ve had enough of wallowing, stream these series and movies on Showmax to take your mind off your ex.
