1. The Stranger
A web of secrets sends family man Adam Price on a desperate quest to discover the truth about the people closest to him.
2. Love is Blind
Singles try to find a match and fall in love — without ever seeing each other face-to-face, as emotional connection attempts to conquer physical attraction.
3. Altered Carbon
More than 300 years in the future, society has been transformed by new technology, leading to human bodies being interchangeable and death no longer being permanent. Takeshi Kovacs is the only surviving soldier of a group of elite interstellar warriors who were defeated in an uprising against the new world order. His mind was imprisoned for centuries until impossibly wealthy businessman Laurens Bancroft offers him the chance to live again.
4. Mindhunter
Catching a criminal often requires the authorities to get inside the villain’s mind to figure out how he thinks. That’s the job of FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench. They attempt to understand and catch serial killers by studying their damaged psyches. Along the way, the agents pioneer the development of modern serial-killer profiling.
5. The Goop Lab
Leading with curiosity and keeping it real, Gwyneth Paltrow and her Goop team take a look at psychedelics, energy work and other challenging wellness topics.
6. Sex Education
Socially awkward high school student Otis may not have much experience in the lovemaking department, but he gets good guidance on the topic in his personal sex ed course — living with mom Jean, who is a sex therapist. Otis decides to use his insider knowledge to improve his status at school, so he teams with whip-smart bad girl Maeve to set up an underground sex therapy clinic to deal with their classmates’ problems.
7. Narcos
A chronicle of the rise of the cocaine trade in Colombia and the gripping real-life stories of drug kingpins of the late ’80s in this raw, gritty original series.
8. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Sabrina Spellman wrestles to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family — including aunts Hilda and Zelda — and the daylight world humans inhabit.
9. Unbelievable
When a teen reports being raped, then recants her story, two female detectives follow evidence that could reveal the truth; based on a true story.
10. You
A charming yet awkward crush becomes something even more sinister when a writer becomes a bookstore manager’s obsession. Using social media and the internet, he uses every tool at his disposal to become close to her, even going so far as to remove any obstacle –including people — that stands in his way of getting to her.
11. Elite
When three working-class teens enroll in an exclusive private school in Spain, the clash between them and the wealthy students leads to murder.
12. La Casa de Papel
A criminal mastermind who goes by “The Professor” has a plan to pull off the biggest heist in recorded history — to print billions of euros in the Royal Mint of Spain. To help him carry out the ambitious plan, he recruits eight people with certain abilities and who have nothing to lose.
