Young Rock leads this week’s top international series picks on DStv

Fresh from the US, Young Rock on M-Net (DStv channel 101) is certain to be a household favourite. Based on the childhood of Dwayne Johnson, sit back and enjoy the hilarious and unique experiences that made him the hardest-working person in the room.

The all-telenovela channel, tlnovelas (DStv channel 133), has a brand-new show that takes drama to the next level. The Colour of Passion starts with one sister’s jealousy and murder plot. But just when things look like they are going well… another set of sisters shows signs of strife.

A brand-new season of Snowfall on 1Magic (DStv channel 133) continues to show the destructive capabilities of crack cocaine during the 1980s. The devastation is so widespread that even drug dealers begin to regret their involvement as the poor become the most susceptible.

Crime and destruction continue to invade the small community of Provincetown in Hightown. First on Showmax, the local law enforcement unearths narcotics and gangs involved in the murder of a young woman.
