Showmax has been a trend setter in many aspects, first capable contender on video-on-demand and first to have an affordable data plan for African online show streamers on Kenya’s Safaricom network just to name a few.
Showmax is more than just different. It’s like the cute and rich chick you have always wanted but feel inadequate to strike a conversation with. She’s always dropped at school in a dream car, she has a new pair of shoes everyday. The examples she gives in class are not only brilliant but out of this world and she is always the best in the class. A real life example of beauty brains and riches compared to your soleless 18-month-old shoes and fading uniform you bought at the local store and you are so poor and not brilliant enough so you always avoid eye contact.
To keep her standards and even go a notch higher, Showmax has signed up more premium and exclusive content not found anywhere else. Showmax is not only the only the first place you can find the shows but its the only one at the moment, globally. Some of the award winning shows include our favorites like Mr. Robot , Channel Zero among others, here’s the full list.
