The Fall of the House of Usher
When the same dead body is found at four different East London crime scenes in four different time periods, four police officers find themselves wrapped up in a conspiracy that’s far bigger than any of them could imagine. The ensemble cast includes Stephen Graham, Shira Haas, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Kyle Soller, and Amaka Okafor, and all eight episodes are streaming now for the perfect weekend binge-watch.
One Piece
Mike Flanagan’s latest Netflix show is an adaptation of the story of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe, but with a distinctly modern twist. Something like a Gothic Succession, the show follows a (terrible) family plagued by a spate of gruesome, sudden deaths. The stacked cast features the likes of Mark Hamill, Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, and Rahul Kohli
THE DIPLOMAT
The political thriller follows Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), a career diplomat, as she juggles her new high-profile job as ambassador to the United Kingdom and her turbulent marriage to a political star amid an international crisis. Season 1 of the gripping and propulsive drama ended on a cliffhanger – so it’s a good thing Netflix quickly renewed the show for a second season. The impressive cast also includes Rufus Sewell, Ali Ahn, David Gyasi, Michael McKean, Rory Kinnear, Nanah Mensah, and Penny Downie.
WEDNESDAY
Tim Burton’s coming-of-age fantasy comedy stars Jenna Ortega as a teenage Wednesday Addams who enrolls at a centuries-old boarding school called Nevermore Academy. While at the academy, Wednesday must learn to control her own emerging psychic powers, stop a monster from destroying the town, and solve the supernatural mystery that affected her family some 25 years prior
The Witcher
The Witcher tells the sprawling tale of Geralt of Riviera as he goes across the Continent, slaying beasts and saving cities from destruction. However, the series is not just Geralt’s story, but also that of crowned princess Ciri and the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg.
Based on the novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher has already spawned a huge Netflix franchise – with a spin-off animated series and a live-action prequel starring Michelle Yeoh. That’s all for good reason: this is one of the best Netflix shows going, with excellent, bloody, brutal fight scenes and an epic story told over multiple (though, sometimes confusing, timelines). The second season marks a substantial step-up in quality, and is well worth binging before more Witcher content arrives on Netflix in the near future.
