Mariah and Quad's once inseparable friendship is barely hanging onto life support. Mariah, the self-proclaimed "Queen Bee," has demanded credit for making Quad "relevant" in the exclusive circle of Atlanta medicine, while Quad feels Mariah has a bad case of jealousy.

While Toya's search for her dream home continues, her friendship with long-time friend Simone comes to a surprising halt.

Lost Gold of World War II

Lost Gold of World War II, also referred to as the Yamashita treasure, is the name given to the alleged war loot stolen in Southeast Asia by Imperial Japanese forces during World War II.

Though accounts that the treasure remains hidden in the Philippines have lured treasure hunters from around the world for over 50 years, its existence is dismissed by most experts.

The rumoured treasure has been the subject of a complex lawsuit that was filed in a Hawaiian state court in 1988 involving a Filipino treasure hunter, Rogelio Roxas, and the former Philippine president, Ferdinand Marcos.

In the series premiere, "Death on the Mountain": a team of Americans explores a mountain in the Philippines to search for a treasure rumoured to have been buried by General Tomoyuki Yamashita in the closing months of World War II.

White Gold 2

Channel: Netflix South Africa
TX Time: 10h00 (all episodes)
Genre: Comedy

White Gold 2

In 1980s Essex, cocky salesman Vincent Swan and his unscrupulous team will do anything to get the sale -including throwing honesty out the window.

This season, it's 1985. Eight months have passed since Vincent Swan - Essex's premier and most amoral double glazing salesman - teamed up with gangster Ronnie and forced his boss Walshy to sell Cachet Windows to them for a measly pound coin.

But after a brief honeymoon period, it turns out having a massively dangerous and violent criminal for a boss isn't that much fun. And this isn't helped by the fact that Vincent owes Ronnie £50,000.

Still, Vincent's got the massive house and middle-class lifestyle he'd always wanted to give his wife Sam. Sam wants to keep it that way, too - but when the Swan's snooty neighbours sign a contract for a brand new conservatory made by - of course - Cachet Windows, alarm bells start to ring.

Back at Cachet, disillusioned salesman Lavender is trying to finally take control of his career, while Fitzpatrick is left to pick up the pieces when his wife leaves him for her aerobics instructor, while he spends his evenings locked in the garden shed.

But at least business is booming - or it is just before a new rival salesman appears, ripping it up around town and stealing most of Cachet's business.

The team eventually discover it's not a sales-man but a sales-woman - and Jo Scott is relentless and ruthless in her pursuit of success.

But there's one prize she values above all - Vincent Swan himself.
